2 Entrepreneurial Empowerment of Self Help Group Through Micro Finance – A Review of Literature, Mr. T. THILEEPAN, Dr.K. SOUNDARARAJAN
Micro finance programmes like the Self Help Group Bank linkage programme in India have been increasingly hailed for their positive economic impact and the empowerment of women. This is based on the view that women are more likely to be credit constrained have restricted access to wage labour market and have limited decision making and bargaining power within the household. The SHG’s in India playing prominent role in the empowerment of women and they constitute major proportion among participatory development organizations. Women’s productive activities, particularly in Industry, empower them economically and enable them to contribute more to overall development. Whether they are involved in small or medium scale production activities or in the informal or formal sectors, women’s entrepreneurial activities are not only a means for economic survival but also have positive social repercussions for the women themselves and their social environment. The paper was made an attempt to evaluate the role of SHGs in the socio-economic empowerment of women through micro finance.
3 Are Effective Communication Helps Building Trust and Improving Performance of A Service Industry: A Literature Review and Theory Building, RAJESH KUMAR SINHA
In the fast growing and changing competitive market, it is inevitable for the business to win the trust of their customers. Building trust with the customers is a process of creating an emotional bondage between them and that needs to be seriously taken. Past studies showed that in service industries, trust with the customers can be created by positively engaging with them through an honest and effective communication. The current literature review is to show how effective communication influences the customer satisfactions which help to build strong relationship between the customers and the business in the context of service industries.The argument is therefore built along the extra-organization trust development between the business and the external customers, where studies of trust development and impact of communication in service firms like Financial Services and Healthcare have been taken for example. Finally a theoretical proposition is developed for future research to explore whether firm performance is positively influenced by effective communication and trust between the service provider and the customer.

10 Working Women and Protective Laws in India, Dr. Neena Vashisht
Contrary to common perception, a large percentage of women work in India. National data collection agency accept that statistics seriously understate women contribution as workers. On the one hand, there are women workers in unorganized sector both in rural and urban areas who may be called invisible, behind tall buildings, highway, city roads and government programs, they shed their sweat, they are the most crucial but most underpaid and neglected link in the labor chain. On the other hand, there are women in the organized sector who participate in work force in impressive numbers. For example, in the software industry, 30% of the workforce is female and enjoy parity with their male counterparts. This paper analyzes the profile of women in various economic activities industry-wise, zone-wise and sector-wise. It also highlights the protective legislation for working women in our constitution.

17 Home Without Space: A Study of Chitra Divakaruni’s Women Characters With Special Reference to Arranged Marriage, Ritu Sharma, Dr. Tanu Gupta
Indian woman has remained entrapped in a world coded by patriarchal order. By and large, she is subjected to the unjust treatment meted out to her. Her mute sufferings, unshed tears and unexpressed sorrows have been delineated effectively in Indian English Literature. Even the poets, dramatists, novelists and prose writers all over the world lay bare the unbearable pain of woman out of her exploitation in their respective works. One such eminent voice is Chitra Divakaruni. Settled in the United States, she brings into portrayal the different strata of Indian women in her magnum opus Arranged Marriage(1997). A unique collection of stories, Arranged Marriage presents a panoramic view of Indian society in true colours. Discrimination against the ‘Fair Sex’ in the forms of domestic violence, economic dependence, female foeticide and wife battering highlights the plight of women in the words of Chitra Divakaruni.
18 Aquaculture of First Larval Stages of the North African Green Water Frog, Meher Bellakhal, André Neveu, Mouna Fartouna Bellakhal, Hechmi Missaoui
Frog rearing is becoming a common activity in aquaculture since demand on frog legs is increasing. We evaluated the relationship between starting body size and multiple measures of larval growth in the North African green water frog Pelophylax saharicus; we analysed within-clutch variation, to remove co-variation between provisioning and genetic maternal effect. We reared tadpoles from multiple clutches in a common environment under two food treatments (high-and low-protein content), and measured the mortality, tadpole size during development and development rate. Tadpoles with a large starting size remained the largest ones through the entire larval development, and attained metamorphosis earlier. Food with high-protein content reduced mortality and increased the growth and development rate; the choice of food may be important in captive-breeding/headstarting programs. We did not detect effects of the interaction between provisioning and type of food on tadpole growth. Our study confirms the importance of egg provisioning in amphibians, showing that it can affect multiple traits, and that their effects can last through the entire larval development.

31 Present Status and Challenges of Indian Financial Inclusion Initiatives, Dr Amitava Basu
In recent decades, economic and social inequalities have increased along with high growth rates in India. It is not possible for us to sustain our growth process if we fail to include a huge number of vulnerable groups in our mainstream society. As a result, Inclusive growth has become a national policy objective of our Government and it is possible only through Financial Inclusion. It has been unanimously and globally recognized as one of the key elements for eliminating poverty and narrowing down the glaring urban-rural economic disparity, but it is quite difficult for the formal financial institutions to penetrate into every nook and corner of India to financially include our huge unbanked population. In this back drop, this paper highlights the innovative use of ICT which can deliver cost-effective and efficient services at the door step of the target groups.
32 Liquidity Management - A Review of Relevant Literature, Dr.W.C.Singh, Elangbam Binodini Devi
Effective liquidity management is one of the requirements for the survival of an organization. Various components of working capital should be managed in such a way that the organization is able to maintain appropriate working capital. Adequate working capital enables an organization to meet its obligations in time. It avoids the organization for making payment of unnecessary interests to the creditors. The firm has to invest enough funds in current assets for generating adequate sales capacity; there should be proper quantity & quality of inventories for maintaining and improving sales capacity. Working capital can be assumed as a lifeline of every concern. Without adequate working capital, no progress is possible; inadequate working capital leads to shortage of raw-materials & underutilization of machinery & finally failure of business.
33 A Study on Information Technology Professionals’ Perception Towards Quality of Work Life, Performance and Satisfaction- A Parameters at Work Place, G.S.Indumathi, Dr.R.Thamil Selvan
The success of every organization is highly dependent on the utilization of organizational goals. To achieve organizational goals, individual goals have to be satisfied, in that the Quality of work- life directly contributes to the utilization, development and achievement of organization and human resource goals. A high quality of work- life is essential for an organization to continue, to attract and retain employees (Sandrick, 2003). The basic premise of our Quality of Work Life (QWL) construct and measure is that employees bring a cluster of their wants to their employing organization and expect to enjoy a sense of Quality of Work Life (QWL) to the extent that these wants are satisfied by means of work in that organization. But due to various reasons the employees are forced to do the work and the organizations miss chances to concentrate on the quality of work-life of the employees. The aim of this study is to examine the relationship between the Quality of Work-Life with performance and satisfaction. Based on the interview with the employees in the organization the simple random sampling technique was adopted for 750 respondents. In this study the researcher applied the statistical tools like Confirmatory Factor, Independent sample t-test and Bi-variate. The result of this study clearly proves the employee’s resolve not to stick on in their job in the same firm has it’s because of heavy work load, Leader always criticizes the poor work, not having enough time to spend with the family and friends, Dissatisfied with the grievances handling by the management, no opportunity for promotion, no job guarantee. Hence require HR to concentrate on employee’s quality of work life in the IT companies

38 Mathematical Analysis and Accurate Solving of Four-Center Arcs For Fitting Ellipse Based on Dichotomy, Guoshun Wang, Libo Tang
It is a common method in numerical control machining field using arcs to fit ellipse. As many numerical control machines do not support ellipse interpolation, ellipse machining is usually realized by arc machining using fitting method. Thus mismachining tolerance depends on theoretical fitting precision. However, present fitting ellipse is not precise due to inaccurate error algorithm of four-center arcs for machining. This work derives analytical form of normal error and determines finite solution interval of four-center arcs method for fitting ellipse. The transcendental equation for getting the error is derived on the basis of graphics theory, and the equation is solved using dichotomy. The minimum error band of fourcenter arcs for fitting ellipse has been determined for a given normal error, and this is realized by Visual LISP language for programming under AutoCAD environment. The optimal solution of four-center arcs for fitting ellipse has been determined, and the accurate criterion is supplied to determine whether four-center arc is feasible to fit ellipse for a given form tolerance.
39 Obstetrics and Gynaecology: Intestinal Obstruction Due to Ladd’s Band in Pregnancy: A Case Report, DR OMANA E K MBBS, DR. VIDYA S. PRABHU MBBS, DR AJITH S MBBS, DR. J S DIVYA LOUIS MBBS
Intestinal obstruction in pregnancy is rare.It carries significant maternal and fetal mortality,often due to delay in diagnosis and treatment. A 30year old G3A2 with history of acute renal failure due to increased vomiting and intra uterine fetal demise at her 21 weeks in previous pregnancy,now presented with vomiting and elevated renal function test at her 23 weeks.USG: dilated stomach and duodenum with increased peristalsis with a live fetus. MRI: midgut malrotation. Laparotomy done. Obstruction was due to Ladd’s band. Ladd’s procedure done. At her 38weeks she delivered a male baby vaginally. Ladd’s bands create an obstruction of the duodenum. Most cases of intestinal obstruction during pregnancy result from pressure of the growing uterus. A surgical operation called a Ladds procedure is performed.The possibility of a congenital band must be included in the differential diagnosis of patients with symptoms and signs of bowel obstruction and no history of abdominal surgery, trauma. A reluctance to operate during pregnancy adds unnecessary delay, which increases morbidity for both mother and fetus. Often vomiting is misdiagnosed as hyperemesis,such misdiagnosis should be avoided as prompt diagnosis and appropriate therapy are crucial.
40 Obstetrics and Gynaecology: Conservative Management of Cervical Pregnancy: A Case Report, DR BEENA GEORGE MBBS, DR OMANA E K MBBS, DR. VIDYA S. PRABHU MBBS, DR AJITH S MBBS, DR. J S DIVYA LOUIS MBBS
Cervical pregnancy is a rare form of ectopic pregnancy, which accounts for less than 1% of all ectopic pregnancies. This case has been reported because of its rarity and successful treatment by methotrexate injection alone, in early viable pregnancy. A 25 year old G3P1L1E1 with history of previous caesarean section and previous abdominal pregnancy, presented with complaints of bleeding per vaginum for 10 days, after 7weeks of amenorrhoea. Transvaginal sonogram showed – single live intrauterine gestational sac with live fetal pole of CRL7.2mm in the cervical stroma, with surrounding increased vascularity. Her Beta-HCG was 53,280mIU/ml. Inj. Methotrexate 70mg i.m was given on Day1,3,5,7 and Inj. Folinic acid 7mg on Day2,4,6,8. Transvaginal ultrasound after 5days showed decrease in vascularity . Ultrasound after 1 week of treatment showed normal uterus and cervix. Beta HCG was 2300mIU/ml. Patient was on follow up with weekly serum beta-HCG. After seven weeks her Beta HCG became normal. Though studies have shown unsatisfactory results using methotrexate for Beta-HCG more than 10,000mIU/ml and cardiac activity is present, in our case we considered methotrexate, because vascularity will be reduced and bleeding will be less when we add other adjuvant conservative procedures. There are also studies showing treatment with methotrexate in viable cervical pregnancy less than12 weeks gestation carrying a high success rate. As with increasing caesarean section and artificial reproductive technique, there is increase in cervical pregnancy, a life threatening event. Early diagnosis allows early intervention and increases the likelihood of successful conservative treatment,there by preserving patient’s fertility. Methotrexate multidose regime as a conservative treatment is found out to be highly successful in viable cervical pregnancy.
41 Huge Retroperitoneal Liposarcoma-Case Report, Dr.Mohammad Raza, Dr.Shivanand Reddy, Dr.Dileep
Liposarcoma, the most common type of retroperitoneal tumor, usually presents late with average weight of 15-20 kg, mostly in men(1). Surgery is considered to be gold standard even in giant retroperitoneal liposarcomas.We report a case of 65 year old woman with a giant retroperitoneal liposarcoma and show that large tumor size is not necessarily a contraindication to surgical resection.
42 Study of Results of Minimal Invasive Plate Fixation in Metaphyseal Fracture of Tibia in Adult, Dr Rameez Musa, Dr Kaushal Anand, Dr Nimish Patel
Modern way of living has lead to increased incidence of comminuted fractures of bones. This is due to the ever increasing vehicular traffic and industrial activity Management of these fractures by itself is challenging. In this we have studied 40 patients with complex metaphysical tibia fracture and treated by minimal invasive procedure. We have studied the operative time, technique and various post operative outcomes (mobilization time, callus time etc.).At the end of study we have concluded that minimal invasive procedure is treatment of choice for close tibia metaphyseal fracture due to its early post operative mobilization and early callus formation.
43 Psychogenic Skin Excoriation (Skin Picking) : Case Report, Radhika Majlikar Kelkar, Sagar Karia, Avinash De Sousa, Sushma Sonavane
Compulsive skin picking is a new disorder called Psychogenic Excoration or Skin Picking Disorder coined in DSM-5. It is known to be seen in patients with other mental illnesses as well as a stand alone psychiatric disorder on its own. The disorder has been reported in numerous anecdotal case reports and case studies and needs further research. Here we report a case of 12 year old girl with the disorder who responded well to medical treatment
44 Capgras Syndrome : A Case Report, Harshal Sathe, Sagar Karia, Avinash De Sousa, Nilesh Shah

The delusional misidentification syndromes (DSM) are characterized by misidentification delusions of others or of the self. They may occur in various psychiatric disorders like schizophrenia, dementia and various organic disorders. Here we present a case of 45 year female having Capgras Syndrome.
45 Clonidine as an Adjuvant in Axillary Brachial Plexus Block for Below Elbow Orthopedic Surgeries: A Comparison Between Local and Systemic Administration, Dr.Parul N. Panchotiya, Dr.Hardik Bansikumar Modi, Dr.Subhashchandra shyobaksharam Gora, Dr. Kuntal Revabhai Patel
Background: Axillary brachial plexus block for below elbow orthopedic surgery provides a safe and low-cost technique with the advantage of prolonged postoperative analgesia. Clonidine, with selective partial agonist activity on adrenergic receptors, has significantly demonstrated its role in this regard as an adjuvant to local anesthetics.The current study compares the locally administered clonidine with systemically administered control group in terms of onset and duration of sensory block, motor block, and analgesia; hemodynamic variability; sedation; and other side effect profile. Materials and Methods: Seventy patients (ASA I or II) scheduled for below elbow orthopedic surgeries were randomly allocated in equal numbers to receive either 30 ml of 0.5% plain bupivacaine with 150 g (1 ml) of inj. clonidine locally in the axillary sheath and 1 ml of normal saline (NS) subcutaneously (Group L) or 30 ml of 0.5% plain bupivacaine with 1 ml of NS locally and 150 g (1 ml) of inj. clonidine subcutaneously (Group S). Standard monitoring of vital parameters was done. Duration of sensory and motor block, analgesia, hemodynamic changes, and any adverse effects were observed and recorded for different duration up to 24 h. Results: Duration of sensory block (625 ± 35 min), motor block (690 ± 38 min), and analgesia (930 ± 45 min) was significantly longer in Group L than in Group S [sensory block (480 ± 30 min), motor block (535 ± 25 min), and analgesia (720 ± 30 min)] (P < 0.05). Significant alteration of heart rate, systolic blood pressure and diastolic blood pressure, and mean arterial pressure in Group S was observed compared to Group L (P < 0.05). Side effects like nausea and vomiting were comparable,but highly significant sedation score (?² = 47.75 and 49.51 at 120 and 240 min, respectively;P < 0.01) was observed between the two groups. Conclusion:Compared to systemic administration,local clonidine as an adjuvant in axillary block resulted in significant prolongation of duration of sensory and motor blockade, and analgesia without any hemodynamic alteration, probably by locally mediated mechanism of action.
46 Nurses’ Practices Concerning Isolation Techniques for Patients with Burns At Baghdad Teaching Hospitals, Ali D. Abbas
Objective(s): The study aimed to evaluation of nurses’ practices concerning isolation techniques for patients with burns in burns ward, and to find out the relationship between the nurse’s practices and the demographic characteristics that includes (age, gender, level of education, years of experience in burns wards, and training session). Methodology: A descriptive study was carried out at the isolation rooms at burns wards in Baghdad Teaching Hospitals. A non-probability (purposive) sample of (50) nurses, was selected out of five teaching hospitals in Baghdad city. The study instrument consisted of two major parts was constructed. It is based on the review of literature. First it is concerned with demographic data for nurses; and the second part is observational tool (checklist) is composed of two sections in which there were (95) items. Reliability and validity of the observational checklist were determined through the analysis of a pilot study. Data were collected through the use of the observational tool. Starting from Nov. 14th 2013 up to the 16th of Apr. 2014.which analyzed through the use of two statistical approaches. They are descriptive statistical analysis (frequencies, percentage, SD, Range of scores, mean of scores and relative sufficiency; and inferential statistical analysis (correlation coefficient and chi- square test). Results: The finding of study reveals that the evaluation of relative sufficiency was low on 32 (33.7%) items, moderate on 25 (26.3%) items and high on 8 (8.4%) items, while 30 (31.6%) was out of comparison and there is no significant association between ages, gender, level of education and nurses’ practices scores, while there is significant association between years of experience in burns wards, training sessions and nurses’ practices scores. Conclusion: The study concluded that the more years of work with the nurses working in the field care of patients with isolated burns increased their excellent performance in the provision of care for burn patients isolated. Recommendations: the researcher recommends establishing new standard checklist suitable for nurses’ practices concerning isolation techniques for patients with burns and increase the educational level of the staffing nursing.
47 The Interplay of Language, Violence, Revolution and Liberation in Frantz Fanon’s African Political Philosophy, Kanu, Ikechukwu Anthony (OSA)
Frantz Fanon was born in Fort-de-France on the Island of Martinique. He was a son of a descendant of African slaves; his mother was said to be an illegitimate child of African, Indian and European descent, whose white ancestors came from Strasbourg in Alsace. This piece focuses on the concern of Fanon, basically to resolve the problems of Black-White relationship, which was fostered by colonialism and colonial rule. He proposes violence as a potent instrument for resolving this relationship. In relation to colonization, he argues that speaking the language of the colonizer instead of one’s own language is ipso facto to assume the colonizers culture and to reject one’s own culture. This promotes cultural and political domination. How then can a person gain freedom? He argues that one’s freedom is a function of one’s determination to act in other to remove obstacles that stay in one’s way. Fanon believed that violent revolution is the only means of ending colonial repression and cultural trauma in the third world. Violence he believes is a cleansing force. It frees the ‘native’ from his inferiority complex and from his despair and inaction; it makes him fearless and restores his self-respect. While understanding the cultural circumstances surrounding the birth of Fanon’s philosophy, this piece asserts that his position, which is based on violence, cannot give an enduring peace, for violence cannot give what it does not have.
48 Civil Disobedience: A Catalyst for Transformative Leadership & National Development, Dr. Asogwa Nicholas Uchechukwu
There is a preponderance of opinion among political philosophers that civil societies as we have them today were borne out of social contract resulting from the observed insecurity and non self-sufficing nature of man. However, the activities of most leaders elected for the purpose of interpreting the terms of the contract and championing the common welfare of the people smack of betrayal of the people’s mandate. The aim of this paper is to demonstrate that civil disobedience is a veritable mechanism for engendering transformative leadership and national development. It provided support to this position by undertaking a review of some civilly disobedient acts carried out by certain public-spirited individuals at different points in history and their attendant positive results. Since the act of civil disobedience is anchored on the existence of a higher moral standard, the paper justifies its use only as a weapon of last resort in relation to constituted authorities.
49 Lyotard and Habermas on Modernity, Post Modernism and The Present Cultural Crisis, Dr. Jatinder Kumar Sharma
Renaissance proved to be an important turning point in cultural and civilizational history of humankind. Human endeavour of flight from facts towards contra-factuals, or the apprehension of more just values and voyage of realisation of apprehended values, both received a very strong impetus from the renaissance. But the spread of crime, terrorism, violence, pornography, drug addiction, alienation, dehumanization, environmental and ecological problems etc. have resulted in a wide spread dejection and disenchantment with the claims associated with enlightenment vision. Perspectives of Lyotard and Habermas are responses to this cultural crisis. The paper seeks to analyse them.

The result shows that the specific endurance training and general endurance training were shows significant improvement of biomotor ability.
52 A Reversible Journey: The Poetical – Political Direction, Viorella Manolache
The present study theoretically signals the recessive inflexions of the political- poetical direction, with an accent upon its attachment to a series of postmodern reflexes, and with an interest in geopoetical notes as launched by Brian Holmes. The starting lines will clarify (via Linda Hutcheon- Liviu Petrescu alloy) the idea of dimension, with an ulterior intention of debating the paradigmatic relationship between political and poetical, as it is being delivered by J. Habermas or P. Sloterdijk. In fact, exploring such a trajectory defines the process of recharging both these concepts with a sense of dimension and context, of technique and/or alternative. The study conclusively offers a personal view of geopoetics, considering it is defined by an (ex)position of space within the message, a filamentation or an intercept.
53 Understanding Psychological Theories and Etiology of Child Sexual Abuse, Nisha K P
Child sexual abuse can be literally addressed as the most inhumane act of shattering innocence by an adult. It can be broadly defined as an act of establishing sexual relationship with a child by an adult. The growing number of child sexual abuse cases, both at the global and national level has reiterated the need to effectively combat this menace. Researches have elaborately explained child sexual abuse from its divergent perspectives. In the present paper, the author has summarized a few major psychological theories of child sexual abuse that explains the etiology of sexually deviant behaviour in human beings. The discussion is attempted for an accurate understanding of the psychological basis of sexually deviant behaviour. This in turn would facilitate to implement appropriate stringent measures to alleviate the crime and also aid in the rehabilitation of the sexual perpetrators for preventing further propagation.
54 New Wineskins: A Study on Indigenous Christian Missions Theory, Potana Venkateswara Rao
Christian Mission practice in India has been influenced by different theories and theologies developed by different missiologists and mission practitioners. In fact, Christian mission history informs the reader that the Western missions encountered different cultures and imposed their western culture on Indians. Therefore Christian faith in India has been westernized in its theology, art and mission praxis. Since the Indian Christians have been depending on the west for their theology, financial resources, leadership and administration, Christianity in India is under the hegemony of the western Church. In this context the focus of the paper is on the subject ‘Indigenization’ with an aim to help the Indian Christians to relate themselves to the culture and context of the Indians.
55 Aadhaar, Function Creep and The Emerging Symbiotic Relationship between Society and Technology, Dr Valsamma KM
Aadhaar is in the eye of the storm ever since UIAD declared that it is going to use multimodal biometrics for issuing Aadhaar enabled unique identification numbers to a large portion of India’s 1.2 billion population. What was initially touted as a voluntary scheme was soon morphing itself into a compulsory scheme and also exhibiting signs of function creep when the scope of bio metric scanning was extended to additional purposes not announced earlier. In no time, the Govt was pushing forward Aadhaar by introducing the AePS [the Aadhaar enabled payment system].The paper presents a critical analysis of current approaches and performance of various biometric system.
56 Educating Muslims in India: Trends of Past and Today, Malik Raihan Ahmad
Education has been considered an important and elementary tool for the development of any society. Institutions of the societies cannot grow of their own in isolation from each other, so is the case with education. Educational upliftment of a society has strong relations with the developments of the rest of the institutions of the society. Education takes support from the economy for its development as well as it extends support to the society for the economic and social development. The present paper explores the impact of economic and social development upon the educational development of a society. It is an ethnographic exploration of a village panchayat that chosen on purposive ground as a representative of the area. The paper is enriched with a detailed socio-economic account of the village panchayat. The paper puts forth the role of economy and other social dynamics of the society in shaping the behaviour of people towards education. It also illustrates the role of education in making people economically sound and self reliant. The paper also has some hints about the problem of quality of education that Indian society is facing today.
57 Effect of Service Quality & Customer Satisfaction on Customer Loyalty of Cellular Service Providers in Ahmedabad, Prof. Maitrey Bhagat

The data was analysed by regression analysis. The study shows that the service quality and customer satisfaction have positive association with customer loyalty. However, the customer satisfaction was fond to be best predictor if customer loyalty.
58 Economic Impact of Infertility in Crossbred Dairy Cows: The Case of Eastern Nile Locality, Sudan, Tamador-Elkhansaa Elnour Angara, Moamer Hassan Mohammed Elfadil
The aim of the current work was to estimate the economic loss due to infertility in crossbred dairy cows in Eastern Nile Locality (ENL). A total of twelve farms were followed up for infertility problems during the period 2008 – 2009.The study revealed that 17.31% of crossbred cows were infertile. Accordingly the annual economic loss was estimated as the cost of milk loss, cost of calf loss, cost of culling and the cost of veterinary intervention. The total annual loss accounted to $US 418,779.1, loss per farm was $US 34,898.261 and loss per cow was $US 4,927. Milk loss accounted to To89% f the total cost. Raising the awareness of the farmers towards better management of infertility problems will act to increase their income as well as milk supply.
59 Comparative Collection of Natural Pollen by Honey Bees in Gwalior & Panchkula (India), Rajesh Kumar, O. P. Agrawal
Honey bees obtain their nutrition in form of pollen & nectar from flowering plants. The present study was conducted to ascertain the availability of pollen rich flora & amount of pollen collected by honey bees during pollen flow season. Natural pollen was collected by installing wooden pollen traps on the entrance of bee hives. The data of pollen collection for two different locations indicates that the amount of pollen rich bee flora was more or less similar at both locations. In Panchkula, maximum pollen (880.2 gm per colony) was collected in the month of February, while in Gwalior maximum quantity of pollen was collected in January month (1033.1 gm per colony).
60 Effects of Cypermethrin on Lipid and Cholesterol Contents of Freshwater Fish Channa Orientalis (Bloch)., Shruti S, Gijare, V.T. Tantarpale
Water pollution is a major global problem that requires ongoing evaluation and revision of water resource policy at all levels. The water pollution is an acute problem in developing and industrialized countries. Fishes are very sensitive to a wide variety of toxicants in water and the deleterious effects of pesticides on fishes can be easily established. Ophiocephalus orientalis, freshwater fish exposed to sublethal concentration(0.0007µ/lit) of cypermethrin at different time intervals. Lipid and cholesterol contents were observed from liver and muscle after exposure period. There were decreased in lipid and cholesterol content at different time intervals.

64 Atrocities on Dalits- Violation of Human Rights a Study in Andhra Pradesh, AKEPOGU JAMMANNA, Prof. PASALA SUDHAKAR
Inclusive growth demands that all social groups have equal access to the services provides by the state and equal opportunity for upward economic and social mobility. It is also necessary to ensure that there should not be any discrimination against any section of our society. In India, Dalits have historically been disadvantaged and vulnerable due to centuries of discrimination and exploitation. The domestic state in India is an historical product of very specific caste system. Therefore, there is a serious juxtaposition between the institutional promises of democracy in relation to the victims of the caste system Dalits. However, the caste-based hierarchical relations of dominance and subordinations have provided sufficient conditions for the raise of Dalit consciousness and these objective conditions have transformed into the sites of democratic struggles when Dalits are affronted with real operation of liberal democratic principles of equality, freedom, fraternity and social justice. A caste conflict thus lies at the structural dimension of Indian society in the form of exclusion, discrimination and economic inequality
65 A Profile of Dalit Movement – Response of the Civil Society: A Case Study of Andhra Pradesh , AKEPOGU JAMMANNA, Prof. PASALA SUDHAKAR
The present paper is an attempt to throw light on the, caste discrimination and oppression being experienced by Dalits and their reactionary attitude to consolidate themselves to face the challenges of upper caste dominance. It is against this growing irrelevance of various grassroots movements that the Dalit movements in India emerging, or seems like emerging. The Dalit consciousness is by no means limited to the scheduled castes. It has begun to symbolize a much broader spectre of the oppressed and hitherto excluded social strata. It is based on an attempted though by no mean still realized solidarity of the poor and the discriminated classes of the people, long held back and frustrated, its leadership divided and brought over, distanced from the masses and co-opted within the mainstream and in establishment structures and positions.
66 A Diagnostic Evaluation For Microgravity and Radiation Against Immunity and Tumor in Space: A Fuzzy Logic Approach, Saurabh Kumar Bajpai, Gaurav Kumar, Prof. (Dr.) D.V.Rai
Microgravity and radiations are the most critical health risk factors affecting the performance of astronauts during their long duration space exploration missions. Microgravity gradually damages the immune system which slows down the body’s ability to protect itself and increased radiation level causes severe mutations resulting in tumors. In this study we have developed a Mamdani model for diagnostic system by using Fuzzy Logic Toolbox in MATLAB. Two types of membership functions i.e. Triangular and Gaussian were used for as inputs to the system “gravity and radiations” risk factors were taken and the outputs were “Immunity and Tumor”.
67 Comparative Feeding Practices For Small and Large Ruminants in Punjab, Pakistan, Aqeela Saghir, Muhammad Sharif, Nazir Ahmad, Muhammad Yaqoob
This study was conducted to investigate the land holding of the female farmers and to analyze the information regarding feeding practices of large and small ruminants. For this purpose, a sample of 30% rural union councils from each of the three tehsils of District Okara, Punjab-Pakistan was drawn at random. There were 324 respondents comprising of female livestock farmers who constituted the sample. It was observed that one fourth (25.6%) of the respondents were landless and focused more on livestock farming. More than two third (71.8%) of female farmers had up to 12.5 acres, while a small number (4.6%) of respondents owned 12.5-25 acres of land. Vast majority of the respondents grew guawara, maize and oats as summer fodders, while berseem, taramera and lucern were grown as winter fodders for feeding large and small ruminants. An over whelming majority (96.6% and 72.1%) respondents fed their animals through stall feeding, 3.4% and 27.9% grazed while 10.5% and 24.3% fed both by stall feeding and grazing to their large and small ruminants, respectively. A great majority 67.6% and 68.5% of the respondents fed cotton seed cake, 35.2% and 50.5% fed wanda and 49.7% and 46.8% offered domestic mixture to their large and small ruminants, respectively. Water frequency was 3-4 times/day water during summer and twice or once a day during winter both in large and small ruminants. The study indicated that majority of respondents fed large and small ruminants through stall feeding using guawara, berseem and maize as major fodders along with concentrate source.

70 Green Banking Initiative to Sustainable Development in India, Namita
The banking sector can play an intermediary role between economic development and environmental protection, for promoting environmentally sustainable and socially responsible investment, banking of this kind can be termed as “Green Banking”. Green Banking refers to the banking business conducted in selected area and manner that helps the overall reduction of external carbon emission. The green technology and pollution reducing projects are financed by the bank in order to aid the reduction of external carbon emission. Green finance as a part of Green Banking makes great contribution to the transition to resource efficient and low carbon industries i.e. green industry and green economy in general. Green banking is a component of the global initiative by a group of stakeholders to save environment.This paper aims to highlight the means to create awareness in internal as well as external sub systems among target groups and impart education to attain sustainable development through green banking. Further, an attempt has been made to enumerate effective methods for green banking.
71 A Study on Opportunities, Issues and Challenges of FDI In Retail in Relation to New Fdi Policy of India, Komal
In today’s competitive global business environment innovations are required for growth & survival and FDIs can be used as an innovative tool in order to accelerate growth. Foreign direct investment (FDI) is direct investment into production or business in a country by a company in another country, either by buying a company in the target country or by expanding operations of an existing business in that country. Foreign direct investment (FDI) is an integral part of an open and effective international economic system, which acts as a major catalyst in the development of a country. Indian retail industry is one of the sunrise sectors with huge growth potential.Despite encouraging signs, India’s retail market remains largely off-limits to large international retailers like Wal-Mart and Carrefour. Undoubtedly, this dismal situation of the retail sector, despite the ongoing wave of incessant liberalization and globalization, stems from the absence of FDI encouraging policy in the Indian retail sector. In this context, the present paper attempts to review the latest FDI Policy, issues challenges and opportunities of FDI inflows into the Indian retail sector, which include single brand and multi-brand retail sectors.
72 Selection of Earlier Flowering Mutants From Canola (Brassica Napus L.) Cv. Serw 4, Mohamed S. Hassan
This research work was conducted during three winter seasons; 2011/2012, 2012/2013 and 2013/2014 at the Experimental Farm of South Valley University, Qena to select for early flowering among 17 canola (Brassica napus L.) promising mutants and evaluation the selections under saline new reclaimed lands conditions . They were isolated from M2 generation after seed treatment of canola variety i.e. Serw 4 by 15 Kr of gamma rays. In the M3 generation Selection was practiced based on early flowering compared to the mother parent. Ten mutants were selected and evaluated in two preliminary trials with their mother parent and chick variety i.e. Serw 6. All mutants were found to be significant earlier than the parent and the chick variety in two trials and their combined. But they shown decreasing in means performance for most other studied traits compared to the mother and chick variety. From the combined data the mutants; M11-2-4 and M11-2-1 were found to be the best in earliness with good performance in most other traits. In conclusion, these two earlier mutants must be put into more future advanced evaluation trials in different locations before registration.
73 Impact of the Special Central Assistance Scheme on Scheduled Tribe Beneficiaries – A Field Study of Two South Indian States, Dr CHIKKALA KRANTHI KUMAR
A major focus area of the Constitution of India is about the improving the lot of the weaker sections of society, especially the Scheduled Tribes. On its part, various government, both at the Centre and the States, have purportedly tried to provide equitable justice to all and improve the quality of life of the hitherto deprived sections of society. Despite a number of schemes and initiatives, a large section of our country’s population continues to live in conditions of abject poverty. One possible reason could be the lack of awareness about their entitlements among many of the intended beneficiaries. Initiatives like unemployment doles were found to adversely impact the self-respect of the ‘beneficiaries. Another ‘shortcoming’ noticed was that, even though, in many cases, lands of Tribals were encroached upon for setting up development projects, the original landowners (the Tribals) were generally deprived of the fruits of development. The need was, therefore, felt for introducing schemes that would involve the active participation and of Tribals. In this way, they would develop a sense of ‘ownership’ over the assets created. The Tribal Sub Plan (TSP) is one initiative in this direction. Under this Plan, the Centre is providing financial support to the State Governments for improving the living conditions of the STs. The focus is on bringing out the latent entrepreneurial skills of our tribal brethren. This paper will seek to examine the impact of special central assistance on scheduled tribe beneficiaries in two Integrated Tribal Development Agency (ITDA) Areas in the States of Andhra Pradesh and Telangana. The intention is to gauge the satisfaction level of the beneficiaries and suggest any mid-course correction, if necessary to the concerned decision makers.

79 Analysis of Profitability and Efficiency : A Comparison of HDFC and ICICI , Neha Rani, Dr. Dinesh Gaba
Banking sector has been working in India from 18th century, but at that time only a few banks were providing their services. After Narasimha Committee, 1991 competition in banking sector has increased due to entry of many private and foreign banks. So to remain in competition the banks should increase their efficiency so that they can provide better services to the customers, as the role of banking sector has changed form money lending to more socially relevant services. As banking sector plays a crucial role in the development of an economy, these should be more organized and developed. The bank acts as a bridge between those having finance and those in need of finance and mobilizes the nation’s saving into profitable investments. Many private sector banks like HDFC, ICICI, Axis Bank, Canara Bank, Oriental Bank of Commerce etc. are providing their services in an efficient manner.

The area of contact and interaction between the abiotic and biotic factors of the nature is the most important factors for any organism to exist. These aspects contribute to form a natural biosphere, and organisms are dependent on it. It is most unfortunate that man by his failure to live in harmony with nature has brought humanity to the brink of this global environmental catastrophe. It is ironical that the natural environment which is to be nourished is being spoilt. This study aims in drawing global issues out to light and tries to throw awareness among the general public in finding ways to go green for protecting the mother earth. Even though it took thousands of years to form into a natural landscape with greens and heavenly fresh air it now takes just a moment for man to pollute the earth. In case of hazardous industries it is submitted that the primary responsibility for safety of the lives and property of the persons should be imposed on the state, because it is the state which permits the industries to function by granting license and environmental clearance .For the sake of survival on earth man is now concerned about environment

83 Tank Irrigation in Chittoor District : A Case Study of Rayalacheruvu Tank, V.RAVI, P.KOTHANDARAMI REDDY
The tanks are many centuries old and managed mainly by the community as most of the tanks are small in size. The system of managing tanks through community participation is also many Centuries old. But, the performance of tanks has been deteriorating over the years owing to various reasons. Tank irrigation system is less capital intensive and has wider acceptance compared to major irrigations. Tanks can be effectively used for development of backward areas. The tank irrigation system has a special significance to the marginal and small farmers who depend on the tank irrigation. Participation as a process is a dynamic, non-quantifiable and essentially unpredictable element. As a process, participation will change the life of the project into a permanent dynamic movement. Participation of farmers is essential dimension for agricultural and rural development & is one of the crucial components of success in irrigation, livestock, water and agricultural projects.
84 Agriculture, Inclusive Groth and Food Security in India: Performance, Challenges and Policies, Mr. BANDAMEEDI NAGARAJU
Like most other developing countries, India has predominantly been an agrarian economy, with agriculture sector contributing the largest share to gross domestic product (GDP) and employment. Under the colonial regime, Indian agriculture was geared towards the production of commercial crops (tea, coffee, rubber, cotton, etc.), while the food crops suffered from neglect. After independence, India depended heavily on imports of food grains as it inherited a stagnant, low-productivity, food-crop sector. Food availability is a necessary condition for food security. India is more or less self sufficient in cereals but deficit in pulses and oilseeds. Due to changes in consumption patterns, demand for fruits, vegetables, dairy, meat, poultry, and fisheries has been increasing This is too narrow an approach for implementation of the Right to Food. The Right to Food campaign specifies several other things to be included, apart from universal PDS, under the Food Entitlements Act. The need for achieving food security is felt significantly in the recent years due to enormous pressure from the ever-increasing population in India. Owing to the change in preferences in crop production techniques over a period of time, several new challenges draw attention to food security. This article discusses various challenges to food security in India. Critical analysis is made on challenges like crop diversification, issues related to bio-fuel and medicinal plant cultivation, climate change, mismatch between water demand and availability, recent status in production of high yielding crop varieties and agricultural crop pricing and insurance and new trends in globalization and urban encroachments.

87 `Abdul Wah?b Al-Bayy?t? Wearing the Mask of Far?d Ed-D?n Al-`A???r , Jamal Assadi, Mahmud Naamneh
This paper will discuss the mask of Far?d Ed-D?n Al-`A???r as portrayed in the poetry of ‘Abdul Wah?b Al-Bayy?t?with the view of studying the link between the Sufi mask and intertextuality, and between poetry and meta-poetry. Seeing that Al-Bayy?t? and Al-`A???r have a lot of things in common in spite of the gap of time that lies between them, we will deal with some important questions: Why was Al-Bayy?t? interested in Al-`A???r? Was he merely fond of a prominent ancestral poet? Does he protest against severe spiritual and intellectual deficit characterizing modern Arab literature? Was Al-`A???r simply used as a Sufi mask, or as a signal of inter-textuality? Did Al-Bayy?t? intend to pay homage to an ancient ancestor without whom he could not live his present and lead an efficacious struggle? In other words, did Al-Bayy?t? intend to resurrect the revolutionary spirit of Arab poetry by using Al-`A???r’s legacy? If so, is Al-`A???r a revived Sufi living among us to guide in person the battle for freedom and to promote the level of Arab literature or was Al-Bayy?t? revived by Al-`A???r, the Sufi saint?

90 Inundation Map Development by Using Hec-Ras Hydraulic Simulation Modeling From Roseires to Khartoum Cities, Dr. KamaledinELsidig Bashar, Dr. Basim Hussein Khudair, M.Sc. Ghassankhalaf khalid
Inundation floodingmap aimedto find outearly warningsto avoidenvironmental damageandhumanin terms of theheight ofthe wave ofwater, speed time arrival, effects of inundation sideanddepth of the water/ distanceand reduce the impact of the flood wave after obtaining the process of collapse of the dam in the lower part of the river to the dam area. The study has been using a numerical model one-dimensional depends on the development of equations (Saint-Venant) so that parts of the river, any river channel main banks of the right and left treated as separate parts, that’s the difference in the characteristics of the hydraulic and engineering, along the line of the flow will take into account in each section of the sections and flow in the river valley. Throughapplied numerical model of the Nile River in the area between the Roseires dam and Khartoum is distance (630 km) south of Khartoum , to get a jest analysis of the impact of a wave of flooding in the river on the following parameters : the maximum discharge , the maximum of attributed, as underdevelopment of the discharge maximum , and the time defaults to the maximum level and the surface area on the banks of the river and its extension and different values of the coefficient of manning roughness to the banks of the river. Eight scenario have been prepared for the flood wave read to compare the effect amount of water flow in the channel resulting from the collapse of the dam was resulting of Roseires dam , eight scenario to represent the five and extract the resulting values of Inundation map to cities located on the downstream of the dam.Thefive scenarioswerecalculated by using (HEC-RAS 4.1.0), (HEC-GeoRAS)a GIS programs and the flood wave resulting from the collapse of the Roseires dam to compare the results showed that the scenario NO. 5 is the best scenario result from the collapse makes sense due to the form of the disposal of the flood wave resulting from the collapse of the Roseires dam and then get overtopping from Sennar dam to the inability of the reservoir and dam to stop the flood wave. The results also indicate that the time needed to reach the greatest discharge of the flood wave resulting from the collapse of the Roseires dam to the city of Khartoum is ( 4, 6, 7and 9 ) day on the cities ( Roseires , Sennar , Wad Medani and Khartoum ) respectively, of the cases . The maximum height of the flood wave reaching the city of Khartoum has given the scenario NO. 5 by height wave (3-50) meters respectively. As well as the delay in the arrival time of the maximum height of the flood wave to the city of Khartoum is one day for the five scenarios compared to the other. The Inundation map development resulting from the collapse of the Roseires dam and get the flow overtopping the Sennar dam, arrival to Khartoum, was determined the surface area of the affected river and both banks of the depth of the wave and latency along the river has been selected four major cities along the river which Roseires,Sennar, Wad Medani and Khartoum.
91 Semantic Web Mining: Using Ontology Learning, Nitesh R Pathak
In this paper, a new technique has been described to match the ontology with help of pattern matching. Ontology matching is performed over the research papers. A 3-Satges algorithm is proposed and implemented for the same. In the first stage database creation is carried out which contains IEEE research papers, Conferences papers and Journal papers (any).

94 Diabetes Mellitus Type 2- Knowledge, Awareness and Practices of Patients, VYAS SHITAL I., CHIRAG A. ACHARYA
Introduction- Diabetes is a growing public health problem, especially in India. The global burden may reach a level of almost 300 million patients in 2025 with similar alarming increase in India. Gujarat is known as a capital of Diabetes. There are several studies from various parts of Gujarat which reveal a rising trend in the prevalence of type- 2 Diabetes in the urban areas (Gupta OP, 1970). Diabetes is no longer a disease of the affluent or a rich man’ disease it is becoming a problem even among the middle income and poorer section of the society. The poor diabetic subject are more prone to complication as they have less knowledge, poor awareness, and little access to costly health care. Those patients who have good knowledge but less self care practices are also has possibility to complication. Less knowledge, poor awareness and less self care practices are some of the important variables influencing the development and progression of diabetes and its complication, which are largely preventable. Methodology- This study was done to assess knowledge, awareness and practices regarding prevention and control of diabetes mellitus type 2 among patients which will help to plan strategies to the health practices. Descriptive study in 617 type 2 diabetic patients aged ? 20 years was undertaken from the general hospital, District NCD cell and selective places like private clinics, medical stores, yoga camps and public places in the Gandhinagar. Data collected through pre-designed questionnaire. Result- Mean age was 54.37±13.10 years, 57.54% were males and 42.46% were females. 20.35%patients had less, 57.4%patients had average and 22.3% patients had good knowledge. More than 60% patients had good awareness.46.4% patients were taking extra care in case of HBP and Heart trouble. 30.7% were exercising regularly. Good number of patient had good knowledge and good awareness regarding diabetes, even though the same cannot take self care.
95 A Comparative Analysis of Perceived Service Quality of Private Sector Banks: A Factor Score Regression Model Approach, Dr. Debasis Bhattacharya, Shuvendu Dey
Customer Satisfaction, a business term, is a measure of how products and services supplied by a company meet or surpass customer expectation. It is seen as a key performance indicator within business and is part of the strategy for customer retention. The entry of private sector commercial banks can be traced to the period of privatization and the need to satisfy customers all the more by the banking sector increased. However no consistent effort was taken on the part of policy makers to trace the level of satisfaction from the services till the year 2003 when BCSBI (Banking Codes and Standards Boards of India) an autonomous body was formed to monitor the level of services provided by the Indian banks.

101 Family Functioning in Schizophrenia : A Clinical Study, Dr. Avinash De Sousa, Dr. Nandlal Prajapati
INTRODUCTION - The family is the basic unit of society and plays an integral part in the pathogenesis, treatment and recovery from schizophrenia. Modifying the functioning and perception of the family is the mainstay of successful treatment in schizophrenia. AIM - To study the differences in perception between schizophrenics and their normal siblings with regard to family functioning and support. METHOD - 300 patients and 300 normal siblings were the subject of the study. A multidimensional semi-structured interview, the Family Functioning Scale, Family Assessment Device and Family Support Scale were used to elicit these differences. The data was tabulated and statistically analyzed. RESULTS - Conflicts, expressiveness, organization, family sociability, laissez faire family style, democracy and idealization were the factors that were most significant on family functioning (p < 0.0005). Significant differences were also noted in perception of general family functioning and family support (p = 0.0001). CONCLUSIONS – We conclude that relatives and patients perceive their family and their family functioning differently and family dynamics must be delved into in the management of schizophrenia.
102 Human Amniotic Membrane: Can it be a Ray of Hope in Periodontal Regeneration?, Dr. Supriya Mishra, Dr. Shweta Singh
Periodontal diseases leading to deterioration of tooth-supporting structures are a serious concern for clinicians. Conventional and existing treatment procedures are not predictable and are associated with a relatively high degree of variability and usually insufficient to promote the regeneration of damaged structures. However, in the emerging field of regenerative medicine, the mesenchymal stem cells derived from human amniotic membrane has given us a ray of hope. The clinical application of amniotic membrane not only maintains the structural and anatomical configuration of regenerated tissues, but also contributes to the enhancement of healing through reduction of post-operative scarring and subsequent loss of function and providing a rich source of stem cells.

104 The Importance of a Multidisciplinary Approach to Patients with Sexually Transmitted Diseases, Josipa Sanja Gruden Pokupec, Zita Blaži? Poto?ki, Ivana Pavi?
According to World Health Organization, in 2005, up to 450 milion new cases of sexually transmitted infections caused by bacteria, viruses and parasites, including sexually transmitted infections transmitted from mother to child during pregnancy and childbirth, and through blood products and tissue transfer was estimated to occur annually throughout the world in adults. The most common infections are syphilis, gonorrhoea, chlamydia, trichomoniasis, chancroid, genital herpes, genital warts and Human Immunodeficiency Virus and Hepatitis B virus. In addition, frequently structural changes and presence of asymptomatic disease complicate routine diagnostic testing and therapeutic treatment. Colaboration between physicians is one of important points in recognition, early detection, upgrading of diagnostic tests and therapeutic treatment. On the other hand, more often if AIDS is detected, in the same patient it is possible to detect at least one additional sexually transmitted disease complicating recognition of disease etiology and planning diagnostic tests for the purpose of early disease detection and treatment, respectively. These points are important in improving the quality of patinet’s life and global prevention. In our case report, the proper colaboration between physicians enhanced detection and treatment of AIDS in early phase.

Surgical exploration of the lesion revealed rice bodies in the extensor tendon synovial sheath, Removal of the rice bodies and thorough excision of the sheath was performed. Patient was immobilized for 1 month with below elbow cockup slab, started on Anti-Tuberculous Treatment and regularly followed up.
110 Qr Codes for Instrumental Performance in the Music Classroom, Dr. José Palazón-Herrera,Dra. Andrea Giráldez Hayes
This article presents an experiment in which a group of music students from a secondary school in Spain used music score sheets enriched with QR codes as a support for the practice required to play a musical instrument. The first group performance was compared with another group who used traditional resources (textbooks and compact discs). The objective of this research is to show that the use of QR codes can be a more effective educational resource for students who need customised assistance for instrumental study. To assess the outcome, the results obtained from video recordings of the students’ performance were quantitatively analysed after the experiment, which lasted a month. The results of the research proved that the students who used QR codes –read using mobile devices such as smartphones or tablets– achieved better results than those who used more traditional resources.
111 Optical Properties of Cobalt Phthalocyanine Thin Films, M.T. Hussein, Eman M. Nasir, F.A.Senaed
Cobalt Phthalocyanine (CoPc) thin films with different annealing temperatures (298,358,408,458)K have been prepared by thermal evaporation technique on glass substrate at RT under vacuum of 10-5 mbar Using Edwards 306 system with rate of deposition equal to 15 nm/minute. The optical measurement includes UV-Visible Spectra, which showed that increase in annealing temperatures, leads to increase absorbance of films, the CoPc thin films have direct energy gap (Eg) for all samples, Also the optical constants such as absorption coefficient, refractive index, extinction coefficient and dielectric constant have been calculated and it was found that they are slightly dependent of annealing temperatures.
112 Ergo-Hira: A Conceptual Model for Fitness to Work, Dr. Sandul Yasobant
Musculoskeletal disorders (MSDs) in the workplace have a huge impact, emerging as a growing problem in the modern societies. Low back pain stands a major attributable fraction of global disease and injury due to various occupational risk factor, causing the most predominant cause of work-life disability. Though 1/3rd proportion of MSDs are reported as globally, still many inherent conditions might be under reported because of unavailability of rapid postural assessment tools at occupational sectors. Pre-employment and pre-placement examinations are an important tool to deal with occupational diseases as screening allows to set a well-being benchmark for new starters. Unfortunately in such screening process, postural-ergonomics assessment is not emphasized. This omission results in high incidence of MSDs in later occupational life in many workplaces. Considering above gaps Ergonomic- Hazard Identification & Risk Analysis (Ergo-HIRA) model was designed which could be included in the pre-placement health screening program to minimize future burden of Work related MSDs.

122 Euthanasia in the Light of Hinduism and Mill’s Liberalism, Dr Savera Sharma
Euthanasia is a controversial issue and there are arguments for and against it from humanitarian and religious view points. Almost all the religions are against voluntary death, except for Hinduism in which the concept of Samadhi or voluntary death is accepted. Probing deeper, we find that there is nothing in Hinduism that deplores euthanasia. Another defence of euthanasia can be given by analyzing Mill’s liberalism from a broader perspective. Though Mill did not directly support euthanasia, but his arguments can be a powerful tool for endorsing euthanasia. Thus, the subject of euthanasia can be looked at from new perspectives in light of Hinduism and Mill’s liberalism.

125 Co-integration between Resource Allocation to Education and Development, Dr. Premakumara G.S., Jagadeesha D.S.
In the present paper we have tried to estimate the long run relationship between resource allocation for primary education and gross state domestic product. We have used secondary time series data from 1990-91 to 2011-12. Plan, non plan and total allocation for primary education, and gross state domestic product have been considered for analysis. It has been found from the study that plan, non-plan and total allocation to primary education do not have long run relationship with gross state domestic product of Karnataka, which is against to the existing theories of returns to investment in education. Therefore, resource allocation made by government of Karnataka (GOK) is not according to the needs of primary education and more-over, resource allocation in primary education by GOK has not been leading to economic development of the state. Hence, there is a need to re-orientation of resource allocation to primary education.

132 Pathetic Plight of a Woman as Revealed in Sylvia Plath’s Poetry, Anju Bala Sharma, Dr. Tanu Gupta
Sylvia Plath is one of the most powerful American poets of the post World War II period. Viewed as a therapeutic response to her divided personae as an artist, daughter, mother and wife, her poetry reveals the psychological torment associated with feelings of alienation, inadequacy and rejection. Further, the neglect of women’s rights and the inequality of opportunities for male and female grew in her irritated self. Betrayal by her loved husband exaggerated her psychological disorders. Her poetry also reveals the frustration and tension which a woman faces because of the patriarchal structure and the discrepancy between the way she wants to behave and the way she is made to behave. She thought that nobody being able to satisfy her needs and considers death as one and only solution.
133 School Location Versus Academic Achievement In Geography : Does Reflective Inquiry Instructional Technique Has Effect?, Prof. S. A. Ezeudu, Gbendu, Godiva Olaowei, Joshua Emeka Umeifekwem
This research investigated the effects of reflective inquiry instructional technique, a learner-centered and activity-based method of teaching and learning, on achievement in Geography of Nigerian rural and urban secondary school students. The research design used was the pretest posttest quasi-experimental design. One hundred and sixty (160) SSS II students in Kolga Education Zone of Bayelsa State were drawn using stratified simple random sampling technique from four co-educational schools and were tested on the concepts of climate, effects of climatic elements and pressure using a developed 50-item Geography Achievement Test (GAT) whose reliability index was 0.66.One research question and three null hypotheses were formulated to guide the study. Mean and standard deviation were used in answering the research question. While the formulated null hypotheses were tested at 0.05 level of significance using analysis of covariance (ANCOVA). The analysis revealed that urban and rural students exposed to reflective inquiry instructional technique achieved higher in the postGAT than those exposed to the conventional lecture method. Findings indicate that there was no significant difference in the mean Geography achievement scores between urban and rural students taught Geography with reflective inquiry instructional technique. Results showed that school location is not a significant factor in students’ achievement in GAT. It was therefore recommended that the secondaryschool Geographycurriculum should be revisited and redesigned to incorporate and as well emphasize the use of reflective inquiry instructional technique; workshops and seminars should also be organized periodically to train and retrain teachers in the use of reflective inquiry technique. Also,Ministry of Education should provide adequate and yet appropriate resource materials to the schools both in rural and urban areas evenly in order to enhance reflective teaching-learning practicesto improve students’ academic achievement.

The study investigated the effect of reflective inquiry instructional technique on students’ achievement in Environmental Related contents of senior secondary school Geography in Kolga Education Zone, Bayelsa State of Nigeria. The study adopted quasi experimental design. Specifically, the pretest posttest non-equivalent group design was employed. The population of the study consisted of all the 1,820 senior secondary school two (SS II) students who offer Geography in the 14 co-educational public secondary schools in the Zone. Four (4) co-educational schools were drawn out of the fourteen schools. A sample size of 160 SS II Geography students were drawn out of the four (4) schools through simple random sampling technique. The instrument used for data collection was Environmental Related Contents Achievement Test in Geography (ERCATG). The instrument was validated by three experts. The reliability index of the ERCATG instrument was established using Kudder-Richardson (K-R20) method of internal estimate which gave an overall reliability index of 0.66. Oneresearch question guided the study and one null hypothesis was also formulated to guide the study. Mean and standard deviation were used in answering the research question while the null hypothesis was tested at 0.05 level of significance using analysis of covariance (ANCOVA). Findings from the study revealed that students taught Environmental Related contents with reflective inquiry instructional technique achieved better than those taught with the conventional lecture method. It was therefore recommended that Geography curriculum planners should carry out a review of the senior secondary school Geography curriculum with a view to incorporating Reflective Inquiry Instructional Technique (RIIT) in order to ensure effective teaching and learning of Environmental Related contents of Geography. That Government should organize periodic workshops, conferences and seminars with a view to training and retraining Geography teachers on the use of Reflective Inquiry Instructional Technique (RIIT) for effective teaching and learning of Environmental Related contents through the Geography curriculum.

143 Foreign Policy And National Security of Nigeria: A Critical Analysis, Dr. Justice O. Igbokwe
Every sovereign country requires a foreign policy perspective, which has as its attributes, the aspirations and desires of that country as well as the strategies for implementing them. However, such foreign policy perspectives of nations do not occur out of the bleus, but rather depend mostly on one important aspect “national interest”. Nigeria, with over 140 millions population, is the largest black nation in the world. Ever since Nigeria attended independence in 1960, the country has been bedeviled by numerous challenges. Its history since independence includes coups, countercoups, civil war, recently, terrorism, kidnappings, ethno – religions conflict, etc. however, knowing Nigeria does not necessarily result in knowing Africa, but the problems and prospects of many African states could be found in Nigeria. Our foreign policy was branded “Afro – centric and this has remained our policy thrust since independence. However, as Nigeria aspires to accelerate economic development and the consolidation of our nascent democracy, national security for the consolidation of these aspirations then becomes a sine – qua – none. Therefore, the paper tires to analyze the primary objective of our foreign policy as well as the primary objective of national security, and advises ways to have a successful foreign policy and strengthen national security.

So the aim of the study is to see if there is any association between pulmonary function tests and Ergoreflex. Pulmonary function tests in control and experimental individuals. The values remained high during the occlusion protocol in control subjects but further decreased in experimental subjects i.e. 0.44 ±1.0 (L) and 0.36 ±1.0 (L) respectively which were statistically significant. Education about risk factors, early detection, treatment and palliative care can be helpful in decreasing the incidence as well as morbidity and mortality of the disease.
148 Deep Ecology And Eco Feminism An Approach To Sustainable Development, S. RAVIKUMAR
The ecological crisis reflects the inequal livelihoods of indigenous communities. Due to globalization, only minority sections are benefited, majority of poor lower. Eco-feminists argue that deep ecology is not deep enough because its call for biological egalitarianism does not extent to women (Salleh 1984).Deep ecology is preoccupied with anthropocentrism (Human centeredness) as main cause of environmental degradation when the real problem is andro centrism, ecological destruction being male dominated. In the process of globalization, industrial and development projects cause a serious harm to the forest or eco systems. In Indian the destruction of five lakh hectares of forest in the past five years alone for mines, dams and industrial project in the name of development. Economic growth do not result in poverty reduction and gap between the rich and poor widen. So that’s why development should be from the below .To have better future for indigenous people, their values must be respected, by making them access to equitable and distribution of GDP. Alternatives, new economic theories, developmental programmes and policies must be framed, and implemented at root level
149 The Role of Motivational Factors in the Practice of Physical Education in Higher Education for Deadlock, GanciuOana Maria
Our research is part of a broader study that aims knowledge and analysis of motivational factors. Information on aspects of behavior and attitude of students towards the movement can occur through specially designed programs change their availability to the subject taught. It aims availability of students to physical education and how they perceive the work done in the lesson. . Investigations were carried out on female students at the University of Bucharest. The sample under investigation included a total of 100 college freshmen, contained in a system organized to participate in physical education classes in various sports. Investigation research was conducted at The Department of Physical Education and Sport at the University of Bucharest, in the academic year 2013 - 2014, semester, involved a questionnaire consisting of questions, which concerned many aspects of motor activities and issues the content of physical education classes. Responses for each of the variants posibile mentioned in the questionnaire were recorded and tabulated and then translated into percentages and interpreted. In higher education, sports options for students who wish to practice in physical education lessons will be: fitness, aerobics, dance, swimming, basketball, football, tennis, badminton, self defense, volleyball, folkloric dance, and martial arts; The above analysis highlights aspects of physical education and sport in school education and will be reflected in the design students on the influence of exercise on health. The fact that, in theory, students agree on the beneficial influence of physical education is reflected by the answers “in range” to the question in the questionnaire, the following influence: a) harmonious development, b) recovery after intellectual effort, c) stimulate intellectual activity. Reasons for lack of interest for physical education which most were limited to the lack of free time, material conditions, workspace especially convenience Apart from these issues I noticed, based on questionnaire responses received, the current content of sports activities is one which thanks to a great extent. As a result of this study suggest improving the conditions of deployment sport activity to the extent that it can do this at our university
150 Energy Efficient Mobile Infrastructure (Green Radio), Rahul Bhambere, Sourabh Sawant, Sarvesh Bhargav
The number of users and the use of telecommunication systems are increasing rapidly and this result in greater demands on energy usage. Based on the extensive Life- cycle assessment (LCA) conducted by various network operators, it is learned that energy consumption in the usage phase of its radio access networks is the most imminent factor relating to impact on athe environment. The amount of CO2 emission is increasing in communication system, in parallel with increase in mobile consumers. It is observed that current wireless networks are not energy-efficient, mainly the base stations (BS). The need for restructuring of existing network architecture, we need to control the systems in every base station. This paper discusses the current energy consumption scenario in base station devices. It also describes innovative and promising method for enhancing the energy -efficiency of the wireless networks and developing solutions that reduce operating costs and effects on the environment.
151 Development of Full Mould Casting Using Polystyrene Cutting Machine, Dhrisya K P, Dr. N. M. Nagarajan
Full mould casting process uses polystyrene foam as the pattern. The pattern is kept in sand mold. As the metal is poured, the foam vaporizes, and the metal takes its shapes. The gas from the foam flees through the sand. The advantage of this process is that complex shaped casting can be made without draft or flash. Moverover the process has less energy consumption and less waste residues than other casting processes. The present study is to fabricate a polystyrene cutting machine to cut poly styrene to shape pattern and evaluate full mould casting process. The present work Al-Si eutectic alloy is used to produce casting. Aluminum silicon eutectic alloy generally called L-M 6 contains 10 to 13 percent by weight silicon. Due to its good casting properties, high strength to weight ratio and excellent corrosion resistance, this alloy finds applications in automobile aircraft and marine industries. This alloy is best suited for automobile components like piston, cylinder, intake manifolds etc. Test result is encouraging. In modification shown the casting product has good mechanical properties and surface finish. Test result shown that LM 6 alloy casting using modifier given good casting shape with complicated profile casting in full mould process.
152 The Traditional Habitat of Bran Village, Romania. Sustainable Development in Rural Landscape., Gabriela Cristina Chi?onu
The region consisting of Transylvania’s rural areas still offers a living proof of sustainable development. Besides using traditional natural materials, the Romanian peasant has developed various typologies of dwellings across the country starting with the shore of the Black Sea and up to the mountains’ top. The dwellings from villages have been built, rebuilt, each of them maintaining the specific of the area in what respects local building materials as well as the architectural style, the latter being adjusted to the relief and the climate, with improvements from one generation to the other. Bran area is still distinguished as a jewel of culture and tradition. Here, magnificent landscapes merge with history and culture, the legendary landmark being Bran Castle. Sustainable development by its adjustment both to environment as well as to local natural resources coincides from the point of view of objectives with the rural traditional habitat, which is still present but not sufficiently valued.
153 Role of Mother Tongue in Teaching-Learning English, Dr. Chittaranjan Bhoi
Most of the fortunate children of the world listen to the voices of their mothers first than anybody else’s soon after they see the first light of the day. It is therefore, obvious that the mother’s voice which is generally acclaimed as mother-tongue creates a great impact on the children. When the children start learning they understand, remember, realize, react and reflect in their mother-tongue better and faster. But to cope with the globalised world afterwards they become bilingual and then multilingual. In the process they foster linguistic, cultural and intellectual vigor. The linguistic experience in the home becomes the foundation of their future learning. Indeed, this paper purports to establish an argument that the role of mother-tongue in teaching English is immensely significant. It further attempts to examine students’ perceptions of the use of mother tongue in various linguistic situations and the educators’ role in teaching English with the prevalence of mother-tongue over languages.
154 Knowledge About Menstruation and Menstrual Hygiene Among Muslim Female Adolescents And Mothers of Rajouri District, J&K, DR. SARIKA MANHAS, MS. RABIA SALEM
The present research was carried with the aim to assess the knowledge about menarche and menstruation among Muslim females of Banihal, Rajouri District, Jammu and Kashmir. Apart from this the menstrual hygiene practices of the adolescent girls and their mothers was also noted. The sample for the study comprised of two groups namely adolescent girls (n= 100, 13-19 years) and mothers ( n= 50, 35-45 years) having at least one adolescent daughter. The sample was selected through a combination of random and purposive sampling technique. Self devised interview schedule was used for data collection. Results reveal that most females were unaware about menarche. Those who knew about it referred to it as signaling of the menstrual process. However, comparatively more respondents were aware about menstruation. More adolescent girls were aware about menstruation prior to its occurrence than the mothers. They reported that menstruation refer to either regular periods or uterus bleeding. On the occurrence of menstruation most girls showed incomplete knowledge as most of them felt that it occurred only in unmarried adolescent girls or in all women without any age restriction. According to most girls menstruation is either a physiological process or a curse of God. Majority mothers did not give any knowledge to their daughters regarding menarche and menstruation. There was widespread misconception about important aspects of menstruation among the females. Most adolescent girls changed their sanitary protective material regularly. Mothers also influenced the choice of protective material and its usage among their daughters. Even today, many adolescent girls were advised by their mothers to make use of clothes (sometimes old and sometimes new) as an absorbent during menstruation; but at the same time more girls than the mothers used readymade sanitary pads as protective material during their periods. The findings highlight existence of a culture of silence towards this crucial physiological process among the selected Muslim community.
155 Green Hrm-A Requirement For Sustainable organization, GEETU NIJHAWAN
Green HRM is not just a management fad. Though the concept is in its nascent stage, organizations are realizing the importance of creating awareness regarding environment management through Green HR policies and practices for their long term sustainability. HRM plays the critical role in embedding sustainability strategy of the organization for creating the skills, motivation, values and trust to achieve a triple bottom line. Green HRM demands initiatives in various HR processes (from recruitment to exit) to promote the sustainable utilization of resources. This ensures building competitive advantage by reducing carbon footprints, preserving natural resources and exploring alternate resources by adopting a holistic and integrated view of people management.
156 Geographical indications And Penal Provisions in india, S.DINESH
Geographical Indications (GI) have emerged as a significant form of Intellectual Property Rights (IPR) issue in the Indian context. In view of their commercial potential, adequate legal protection of GIs becomes necessary to prevent their misappropriation. GI protection with the enactment of ‘the Geographical Indications of Goods (Registration and Protection) Act, 1999, coupled with the ‘Geographical Indications of Goods (Registration and Protection) Rules, 2002. The Act, which became operational with effect from 15 September 2003, was drafted as part of the exercise in the country to set in place national IPR laws as much in compliance with India’s obligations under the Agreement on Trade Related Aspects of Intellectual Property Rights (TRIPs) of the World Trade Organization (WTO) so as to take advantage of the ‘minimum’ standards of GI protection that the TRIPs sets out for the WTO members to comply with in their respective national legislations.
157 Uncitral & Uncisg: - Unifying International Trade, Siddhant Sharma, Shyam Singh Pal

158 Life Insurance Marketing in India - The Changing Advertising & Promotion Norms, P. Arul Minash Rajkumar, Dr.N.Kannan
In July 2002, India’s state owned insurer, Life Insurance Corporation of India (LIC) announced aggressive marketing plans with a budget of around Rs 1 billion. The aim of this unusual decision was to woo customers across the country through a multimedia campaign including advertisements on the radio and the press media, the outdoor media and the television. However, this did not come as a major surprise to industry observers who said that LIC did not have too many options. With the insurance bill being passed in 2000, the Indian insurance sector saw a host of private players enter the market with multinationals as their partners. These new players resorted to aggressive marketing and advertisement strategies something the market had never seen earlier. This sudden spurt of advertisements and awareness programs was visible on all the media channels. Print, electronic and outdoor advertisements of the new private insurers flooded could be seen everywhere. This prompted many comparisons of such behavior of insurance companies with the advertising frenzy of the dotcoms in India not too long ago with similar full-page advertisements, huge hoardings and costly electronic media advertisements This paper is focuses on • Advertising Initiatives of the New Players • Implications of the New-Age marketing initiatives • Advertisement Code by IRDA
159 RESPONSIBILITIES OF INDIVIDUAL PRODUCERS, RECYCLING UNITS AND CONSUMERS TOWARDS E-WASTE MANAGEMENT, Vikrant Srivastava
Managing the toxic e-waste is not just the government or a particular individual’s responsibility. Rather it is an integrated community work, where in everybody is aware of potential harm possessed by the e-waste they might just toss away. The electronic waste which is simply tossed into the garbage may be just simply dumped into the land, incinerated or simply burnt with the other waste releasing the toxic effluents which seep into the ground into the land, the water and in the air. With an estimate of 50 million tons of waste disposed of every year [1] the management of this sort of waste may become unmanageable in the coming years if the correct measures are not taken due into considerations. More so the harsh protocols of disposing waste taken up by the locales working in management of this waste like breaking, removal of the yolk and thereby dumping the rest of the cathode ray tubes followed by dumping, incinerating, open burning, de-soldering, acid baths and many such treatment on the e-waste manages to leach poisonous mercury, lead, beryllium, hydrocarbons, brominated dioxins and many such pollutants [2] into the natural resources we all have to consume. This paper briefly submits the main responsibilities of individual producers, the government, a consumer and public in general and how we can all together bring a significant change in the waste management.

163 A study of Sewage Treatment System by Pandanus Amaryllifolius in Man-Made Wetland, Yusri Yusof, Ku Halim Ku Hamid, Miradatul Najwa Muhd Rodhi
Many environmental experts say wetlands are the “kidneys” to nature. Wetland is a type green technology, which only uses natural plants without using any sophisticated equipment or toxic chemical. It is a screening technology and natural treatment that works clean and treat contaminated water or sewage.. The main focuses in this research are to evaluate the quality of the treated water after the treatment process using man-made wetland system and to review the effectiveness of the man-made wetlands in refinery process wastewater. When Pandanus Amaryllifolius growth in the man-made wetland site and can be seen the rate of growth is increasing, it indicates that the plant has earned a good nutrient levels of induction of waste water through the plant. This can be associated with a high rate of absorption of nutrients from the wastewater. Pandanus Amaryllifolius (pandanus) used as a tool in the screening process wastewater naturally. A series of experiments were conducted to examine the effectiveness of this man-made wetlands, among them is the chemical oxygen demand (COD), pH, turbidity samples, color samples, searching compounds in Pandanus with GCMS, and the last one is looking for the total concentration of chlorine, chlorine, nitrate, sulfate and phosphate to predict water quality after a man-made wetlands. From the data obtained, the COD value was reduced from 70 mg/L to 39.25 mg/L. As well as the nitrate and phosphate, both concentration of the substance are reduced to a safe level of 1.10 mg/L and 19.42mg/L. These findings prove the man-made wetland systems have shown that the water quality can be increased to the certain level that is safe to be released into the environment.

165 Exceptionally Enlarged Accessory Spleen Due to Portal Hypertension, Dr.Kuldeep temani, Dr.Manoj Kumar, Dr.Amrita Mayenger, Dr.Sangeeta saxena, Dr.A.L.Bairwa
Accessory spleens, also known as supernumerary spleens, splenunculi, or splenules, are congenital foci of healthy splenic tissue that are separate from the main body of the spleen [1]. They are found incidentally in 10-30% of patient at autopsy, mostly at the hilum of the spleen and ad-jacent to the tail of pancreas in size of few millimeters to 2-3cm [1-3]. Reported 14 yr. old female child present with fever, pain abdomen, and generalized swelling. child have severe pallor and massive hepatosplenomegaly of 5cm and 7cm respectively with a lump of approximate size of 7cmx3cm involving umbilicus and left hypocondrium and confirmed as exceptionally enlarge accessory spleen in USG abdomen. CT scan confirmed presence of portal hypertension with collateral. Hematology revealed pancytopenia with normal hb elec-trophoresis. It has been reported that accessory spleens undergo compensatory hypertrophy as a result of pre-vious splenectomy, which sometime reaches 3-5 cm in size [19] .The accessory spleen seen in the present case seems to be exceptionally large due to portal hypertension[20]. Unusual presentation of massive splenomegaly with significant pancytopenia and portal hypertension may lead to exceptionally enlarge accessory spleen.

167 The Effect of Three Commonly Consumed Soft Drinks on Bracket Bond trengths, Microleakage And Adhesive Remnant Index: An In-Vitro Study, Dr. Prasad Chitra, Dr. Prasad Chitra
This study aims to simulate and evaluate the effects of 3 commonly consumed soft drinks in India on bracket bond strength, microleakage beneath brackets and adhesive remnant index after exposure to these drinks in a controlled environment. 48 extracted human premolars were preserved in artificial saliva and brackets were bonded onto them using composite resin. They were separated into 4 groups. GROUP I was stored in artificial saliva, GROUP II was tested with Coca-Cola™, GROUP III was tested with Sprite™ & GROUP IV was tested with Mazaa™. The teeth were stored in Artificial Saliva and dipped in the drinks 3 times daily for 15 minutes at equal intervals for 15 days and then tested for bond strength, ARI and microleakage values using the universal Testing machine, modified ARI index and methylene blue staining respectively. Statistical analysis for shear bond strength was done using the Kruskal-Wallis test which showed clinically insignificant results (p>0.05). Statistical evaluation for the Adhesive remnant index scores was done using the Chi-Square and Fisher’s Exact Test which showed insignificant results (p>0.05). Stereomicroscopic pictures showed maximum dye penetration in teeth dipped in Coca-Cola™ and the least dye penetration in those dipped in artificial saliva. There is an increase in microleakage beneath the orthodontic brackets during exposure to commercial soft drinks.

169 Health related quality of life ( HRQoL)of older adults based on SF-36v2®Health Survey-an international comparison between two country in the pilot study., Marta Muszalik,Kornelia Kedziora-Kornatowska, Gulendam Hakverdioglu Yont,Esra Akin Korhan,Tomasz Kornatowski
Background: The treatment and the care of elderly people requires monitoring its effectiveness which is possible through the HRQoL evaluation. Purpose: The purpose of this study was to examine HRQoL of older adults in a comparative research from two country, including Physical Component Summary (PCS) scores and Mental Component Summary (MCS) scores. Materials/Methods: Cross-cultural survey were conducted among elderly people in a group of 99 elderly outpatients> 60 years. Patients were recruited in Poland (N = 50) and Turkey (N = 49). Data has been collected from March to September 2013. To evaluate the patient’s quality of life we used the SF-36v2® (Short Form Health Survey)in the acute 1-week recall form, which describes the health status during the most recent week. Results: The average age of respondents was 71.06. Quality of life in all spheres was below the standard established by the developers of the SF-36. A statistically significant difference was observed for physical functioning such as group of patients from Poland outperformed the group of patients from Turkey (p = 0.006). In both groups the highest outcome was observed in the vitality dimension and the lowest in the role emotional dimension. In the Polish patients group physical and mental functioning was significant worse because of age .Whereas in the Turkish group PCS and MCS was similar but PCS for 75+was higher than in the youngest group. All scores by gender were lower than the norms in the both groups and risk of depression among men and women was comparatively high. Conclusion: Despite the cultural and social differences our research shows that similar emotional problems in everyday social functioning and a high risk of developing depression occurred among both groups.
170 Endothermic Reaction For Veerya Analysis of Amalaki (Emblica Officinalis Gaertn.) An Experimental Study, Dr.Madhu Pathak,Dr. Satej Banne,Dr.Nalinikanta Parida
Ayurveda mainly deals with two types of veerya (potency). First is sheeta (cold) and another is ushna (hot). Ayurveda’s treatment modalities are based on Rasapanchak (Rasa,Guna,Veerya, Vipak and Prabhav). So veerya (potency) of drug plays vital role in treatment principles. So to scrutinize the potency of the drug exothermic and endothermic reactions plays imperative role. Different market samples shows adulterants instead of original classical drug or in case of endogenous medicinal plants other substitute drugs were used. So to overcome such blame towards Ayurveda screening of these test is necessary

172 Positive Organizational Behaviour and Positive Psychology- Allegations for Individual Growth Development in Firms, N.Gayathri, Dr.P.Karthikeyan
Although the value of positivity has been assumed over the years, only recently has it become a major focus area for theory building, research, and application in psychology and now organizational behavior. Positive Organizational Behaviour represents the study of how positive emotions are related to employee performance in the workplace. It explores how positive psychology applies to the work environment and how employees can learn to improve their positive psychological resource capacities. Researchers of positive organizational behaviour believe developing hope, optimism, and resilience leads to higher-performing employees. Studies show that employees, who possess hope, spend energy on meeting goals and using willpower to face challenges and teaching positive organizational behaviour will lead to better job satisfaction, work happiness, and commitment to the organization. The present study explores on the various objectives of positive organizational behaviour and gives a gist on the concept of positive psychology as well. It also reviews positive state-like psychological resource capacities (efficacy, hope, optimism, resiliency, and psychological capital).
173 High Temperature Superconductor, Paresh V. Modh
Superconductivity, as an interesting phenomenon that also has a number of technological uses, was studied by many people over the next few decades to figure out why it happens. The clues found in those years of experiments included the discovery that metals below the critical temperature also expel magnetic fields from their interiors—something that a simple loss of electrical resistance wouldn’t cause by itself. Another important clue was the mid-20th-century finding that a material’s critical temperature depends in a particular way on the masses of its ions.
174 WOMEN’ S ENTREPRENURSHIP: A RHETORIC THAN REALITY, RAMCHANDRA PRAMANIK
The role of women as an entrepreneur has gained currency throughout the globe. Their participation in the economic affairs of the country is considered as important as the participation of their male counterpart. Each and every women works for the sustenance of the family, but her work is not measured in terms of gross domestic product or gross national product. Against this background, women are trying to redefine their role and making efforts for getting out from housekeeping to managerial position. As the task is very hard, and majority of the women are independent on other members of the family, they came forward with the formation of group for becoming an entrepreneur and accelerated the phase of inclusive development. The present paper seeks to identify the hurdles that are taking roots in their redefined role.
175 Correlations between coproparasitological, hematological and physical variables of Santa Inês sheep parasitized by gastro intestinal nematodes, Laura Lucia dos Santos Oliveira,Antonio Jorge Del Rei,Alexandre Dias Munhoz,Vicente Ribeiro Rocha Junior, Walter dos Santos Lima
We evaluated the relationships among the eggs per gram feces (EPG) counts, hematocrit, ocular mucosa coloration, body condition score (BCS), and fecal cultures in 34 Santa Inês sheep at 30 and 15 days before parturition, the day of parturition, and 7, 15, 30, 45, and 60 days postpartum. All animals were treated with 1% ivermectin. Seven days after treatment, there was a decrease of 81.4% in the EPG count. The microhematocrit values decreased as the EPG scores increased, with the lowest value of 23.4% reached at parturition. Both low hematocrit values and ocular mucosa coloration in sheep must be evaluated in association with EPG count and fecal larvae culture because of the interaction of the gastrointestinal parasites on these parameters.
176 Economics of Public Food Delivery System in Urban India, Dr. Jnanaranjan Mohanty
Increasing urbanisation in India gives rise to different socio-economic problems of which urban food insecurity is one important. As urban population largely depends on the market, therefore urban poor are found to be more vulnerable to price shocks and food & nutrition insecurity. In this situation Public Food Delivery System (PFDS) has been an extremely important instrument of food security in urban area. Present study was based on secondary data collected from different published sources. It was found from the study that the accessibility of beneficiaries of different schemes of PFDS in urban India varies from states to states. It is recommended that an integrated action plan for motivating beneficiaries along with the principle of exclusion for repeated non respondent etc may be implemented for improving the efficiency of PFDS in urban area.

178 How Using Corpus Linguistics Can Develop L2 Writing Skills, Hamzeh Moradi
Corpus linguistic as a relatively new field of language study has commenced its investigation as a filed complementary to the mainstream of artificial intelligence, general linguistics, computational linguistics and applied linguistics with direct engagement with the computer technology in the field of linguistic research. Corpus linguistics offers a satisfactory justification in the teaching of writing skills as it can easily depict the patterns of authentic language use by means of the analysis of actual language use. The main objective of the present study is to demonstrate the most common corpora and introduce inexpensive, effective and user-friendly software programs for the development of language skills, specifically writing skills. It presents some practical instances on how application of corpus linguistics can develop learners’ writing skills. As an example, concordance makes it possible to see any word or phrase in context in order to notice what type of company it retains. Therefore, the learners, for instance, are able to see the differences between words which they generally mixed up.
179 A Study on Principles and Performance of Dairy Products Marketing Promotion in India With Special Reference to Tamilnadu State, Mrs. B. Jayalakshmi, Dr. S. Senthilkumar
Dairy sector is important not only as the producer of highly nutritious food products, but also for the sustenance of poor farmers and over all prosperity of the farming community. Currently, milk production in India is around 12.9 Crore metric tonnes per day with the country being the largest milk producer in the world. It is a matter of great pride that a nation which was deficit in milk has now become the leading milk producer in the world. Tamil Nadu ranks eighth in milk production and is well on the way towards achieving the ‘Second White Revolution,’ Milk trade has become a cottage industry providing employment opportunity in rural areas, particularly to the women folk thereby supplementing the family income. This has assured remunerative price and market support to the producers besides catering to the needs of the consumers
180 Nitrogen Nutrition to Rice – A Review, S. Saravanakumar
Nitrogen is pivotal in yield realization of rice. In India about 67 per cent of rice soils are estimated to be in shortage of adequate nitrogen and consequently rice crop has become a major consumer of nitrogen fertilizer. The use efficiency of applied fertilizer nitrogen by rice crop is very low, nitrogen use efficiency (NUE) usually ranges from 30 to 40 per cent. The influence of ‘time of N application’ on crop growth and grain yield is reported by many authors and attempts have been made to quantitatively describe the effect.

184 Land Reforms for Dalits: How Much of The Promises Have Been Kept?, DR. CHIKKALA KRANTHI KUMAR
Despite phenomenal progress in the industrial, service and knowledge sectors during the last 67 years of our independence, the economy of our country continues to be primarily agrarian in nature. Even today, the largest number of both the total workers and the rural work force in India are engaged in agriculture. This profession is almost totally land-based. No wonder, land ownership pattern is a major determinant of the health of the economy of our country, more so of our rural areas, where even today, nearly 70% reside. Even in the British times, it was recognised that the land ownership pattern in India was rather skewed and heavily loaded in favour of certain social groups. The then rulers attempted to ‘rationalise the ownership structure, but could never stem the discontent brewing among the deprived sections of society. It was only in independent India that conscious efforts were made to ensure a measure of justice to the actual ‘sons of the soil’. How far have these ‘land reform’ legislations succeeded in bridging the socio-economic divide and facilitated a more equitable distribution of land? This paper will seek to examine this issue with respect to the erstwhile State of Andhra Pradesh – now bifurcated into Andhra Pradesh and Telangana States.

After his studies, he travelled across Europe & continued to live and exhibit his work in Paris. He experimented with currents of Western Modernism which were moving from Expressionist modes towards greater abstraction & eventually incorporating elements of Tantrism from Indian scriptures. His fellow contemporaries dealt with more figural subjects. But Raza opt to focus on French landscapes as he was inspired by them. From his flowing water colours of landscapes and townscapes that he used in the early 40’s he moved to a more significant language representing - landscapes originate from the mind. The following research describe about his life, motivation and influences on his work, transformation in his ideology, and further developments in his art.
186 Effect of Various Parameters on Citric Acid Production using Different Substrates, Pawar V.A., Pawar P.R.
Citric acid is a weak organic acid having many applications in food and pharmaceutical industries. Mostly Aspergillus niger is used for production of Citric acid due to its ease of handling and its ability to utilize variety of substrates. In the present study, Citric acid was produced using different substrates such as Molasses, Pumpkin and mixed substrate prepared from both. Highest level of Citric acid was noticed on 15th day of fermentation by all the substrates. Among the three substrates used, mixed substrate produced higher level of citric acid i.e. 49.89 mg/ml in pumpkin, 51.87 mg/ml in molasses and 56.44 mg/ml in mixed substrate. With the extension in fermentation period up to 15 days, there was increase in biomass and citric acid, and decrease in residual sugar as well as pH. Estimation of citric acid was done by titration method and Pyridine Acetic Anhydride method.
187 Pollen Sterility in Eichhornia crassipes (Mart) Solms., Agadi S. N.
The present studies on the developing anthers of Eichhornia crassipes is a small attempt to fill the gap created by the insufficient literature on hydrophytic plants, and to identify any peculiar feature (s) associated with microsporogenesis of anthers of Eichhornia crassipes.In E.crassipes presence of staminodes, along with fertile ones, is encountered in some flowers (present study). Since all the developing stamens are exposed to uniform external environmental conditions, it is unlikely that the environmental conditions are causative for induction of male sterility only in few stamens. Therefore, most probably the physiological alterations in certain stamens may bring about male sterility. The aberrant physiological conditions of the stamens are reflected in cellular structures as well as in altered localization of histochemical substances.

197 Service Quality in Private Sector and Public Sector Banks in Udumalpet, I. Irulappan, Dr. A. Venkatachalam
The provision of essential financial services is the prime activity of commercial banks. This is doubly essential in economics of developing countries like India. The developing country faces many peculiar problems like poverty, scarcity of capital, lack of entrepreneurship skills and unemployment. Another vital issue in these economics is that there is more dependence on agriculture and at the same time agriculture is not modernized. There are inter-regional disparities and there is unequal distribution of wealth. The commercial banks can work as catalytic agents in growth by following appropriate policies in the designing and marketing of their services. The present study has made an attempt to evaluate the performance of public and private banks and to assess the opinion of the customers on the quality of services offered by the banks. To achieve the goal, especially in private sector banks, flexibility is the key factor. In the emerging competitive business environment, only those banks that adhere to the strict financial discipline will survive. To create a cordial atmosphere and smooth relationship between the bank and the customers, it is essential to satisfy the need of the later.

202 Teachers Retention in Higher Educational Institutes, Dr MS Pabla
In this era of commercialization of higher education in India, one of the biggest challenges being faced by the Higher Educational Institutes (HEI’s) is the “Teachers’ Retention”. These teachers are very good performers and proves to be an asset to any educational institute run by private organizations /self financed institute or run by the Educational Trusts/ Societies etc. The retention of teachers applies to all types of categories of teachers ie Asst. Prof., Associate Prof. and even to senior faculty members such as Prof, Deans and Head of Deptt. There are large numbers of teachers who are taking this noble profession as a pastime and are just not involved in it seriously. At the same time there are teachers though less in numbers but are performing very well and hence must be retained by any good educational organization. These teachers are generally committed to their job and work with full dedication. When these committed teachers do not get their due respect, recognition and rewards, they start looking outside the present organization and hence try to leave the organization. They seem to be employed as a “refined educated skilled labourers” who are paid daily wages at the end of month. If the teachers are performing well they must be retained at all costs. Though there are many reasons of their attrition yet these reasons can be tackled with care and respect. In this article the efforts are being made to discuss the problem of good teachers’ retention, their perceived causes and suggested remedial measures to retain them for the benefits of all the stake holders such as students, parents and for the management of any educational organization.

206 Experimental Determination of Noise Level Characteristics and Noise Reduction for Industrial Fan Using Cfd Software, Dr. S.S.Gawade, M.B. Mandale, B. P. Karamkar
IndustrialFans are one of the main noise sources in industries. Tonal noise produced at a multiple of the rotational frequency of the fan, so-called Blade Passing Frequency (BPF) and its higher harmonics generally dominate fan noise. Noise reduction is perhaps one of the most important parameter in industries. Every noise reduction process starts with identification of noise sources and ranking of sound sources from the machinery. After the initial identification of typical noise sources, the noise levels are to be eliminated or reduced either by modifying noise producing equipment or redesigning. In the present work, industrial fan (Almonds E 300S) fan model is used. PRO – E software is used to model the fan system and Computational Fluid Dynamic (CFD) technique are implemented for the analysis. The numerical results obtained through CFD are corroborated with experimental results and they are found to be in good agreement. The fan is optimised by changing the geometrical parameter to reduce the noise levels. The noise levels are computed and compare with the experimental fan model results. The optimising fan results indicate that the noise level reduce up to 5-10%.

In the wake of economic liberalization, companies are relying more on the capital market, acquisitions and restructuring are becoming commonplace, strategic alliances are gaining popularity employee stock plans and regulatory bodies are struggling with tariff determination. In these exercises a crucial issue is! How should the value of a company or a division the re for be appraised? The goal of such an appraised is essentially to estimate a fair market value of a company. So at the outset, we must clarify what is meant by “fair market value “and what is meant by “a company “. The most widely accepted definition of fair market value was laid down by the Internal Revenue Service (IRS) of the US. It defined fair market value as “the price at which the property would change hands between a willing buyer an a willing seller when the former is not under any compulsion to buy and the latter is not under any compulsion to sell, both parties having reasonable knowledge of relevant facts.” When the asset being appraised is “a company “, the property the buyer and seller are trading consists of the claims of all the investors of the company. This includes outstanding equity shares, preference shares, debentures and loans. But note that, ‘fair market value’ (FMV) is not designed with any particular individual in mind, nor the ‘real’ transaction for that matter. FMV is a hypothetical value for the ‘model’ transaction. The governing condition in this ideal concept is full knowledge and freedom to act.
221 Functions of Human Resource Management and emerging changes in HRM, Dr. Pravinsinh R. Chauhan
Human Resource Management (HRM) is the function within an organization that focuses on recruitment of, management of, and providing direction for the people who work in the organization. Human Resource Management can also be performed by line managers. William R. Tracey, in defines Human Resources as: “The people that staff and operate an organization”; as contrasted with the financial and material resources of an organization. Human Resources is also the organizational function that deals with the people and issues related to people such as compensation, hiring, performance management, and training. A Human Resource is a single person or employee within your organization. The theoretical discipline is based primarily on the assumption that employees are individuals with varying goals and needs, and as such should not be thought of as basic business resources, such as trucks and filing cabinets. The field takes a positive view of workers, assuming that virtually all wish to contribute to the enterprise productively, and that the main obstacles to their endeavors are lack of knowledge, insufficient training, and failures of process. Synonyms such as personnel management are often used in a more restricted sense to describe activities that are necessary in the recruiting of a workforce, providing its members with payroll and benefits, and administrating their work-life needs. So if we move to actual definitions, Note that some people distinguish a difference between HRM (a major management activity) and HRD (Human Resource Development, a profession). Those people might include HRM in HRD, explaining that HRD includes the broader range of activities to develop personnel inside of organizations, including, e.g., career development, training, organization development, etc.

234 Effects of Chronic Exposure to Electromagnetic Waves at 930 MHz Frequency on Oxidative Stress in Plasma and Some Organs of Wistar Rats, L. TAZROUT, K. TALEA, S. EL AMRANI, I. M’TOUGUY, B. BOUBEKER, H. TAKI, M. TALEA, A. BELHOUARI, R. SAILE, H. MESTAGHANMI
The increasing use of mobile phones and the high number of associated base stations constitute a considerable source of electromagnetic waves. These may affect biological systems, by increasing lipid peroxidation and altering antioxidant activities, thus leading, to oxidative stress. To test this hypothesis, we studied the effect of exposure from 3 months to radiation of 930 MHz produced by a wave generator connected to a communication system on the plasma, brain, liver, kidneys and muscles of the thigh. 60 Wistar rats were divided into 6 groups, according to sex (males and females) and the duration of exposure (controls, exposed 1h and 2h). The levels of Malondialdehyde (MDA) and catalase (CAT) were determined in different tissues. The liver glycogen, glucose and plasma cortisol were dosed and osmotic fragility of erythrocytes was studied in control and exposed rats to electromagnetic waves. The statistical analysis of results was performed by ANOVA. The results were considered statistically significant if the probability p < 0.05. We observed that the rates of MDA and cortisol increased significantly (p < 0.05), while that of catalase decreases significantly (p < 0.05) in rats exposed 2h to electromagnetic waves compared to controls. This exposure also causes a destocking glycogen and an increase in glycaemia. At the level of red blood cells, it induced hemolysis by a significant increase (p < 0.05) of osmotic fragility in exposed 2h to electromagnetic waves compared to controls in both sexes. It also seems that females are more affected by the action of electromagnetic waves than males. We may therefore conclude that the electromagnetic waves emitted by mobile phones can induce oxidative damage to red blood cells and in various tissues studied

256 Use of Octaplex in Obstetrical Hemorrhage – Preliminary Report From a Case Series, Grazyna Michalska-Krzanowska
Life-threatening hemorrhage can occur at any stage of pregnancy, labor, or puerperium. Octaplex, a prothrombin complex concentrate, is a highly promising agent raising new possibilities for the management of severe postpartum hemorrhage. We present a series of four cases illustrating our initial experiences with Octaplex in the management of acute obstetrical hemorrhage. The hereby reported cases of hemorrhages were associated with primary, massive loss of blood due to various obstetrical conditions, such as uterine hypotonia postpartum or following Cesarean delivery, placenta accreta, or miscarriage with secondary bleeding disorders. Administration of Octaplex enabled achieving hemostasis in all the cases. However, due the lack of precise weighting of potential benefits and risks associated with poorly understood therapeutic effect of Octaplex in pregnant women, we postulate that it should be applied solely when maternal or fetal life is endangered and other established treatment modalities have failed.

260 Buddhism and its Relevance in Modern World, Bh.Ravichandra Reddy
Buddhism, as one of the four major religions in the world today, is an empiricistic and antimetaphysical religion. We can think of Buddhism in terms of three main categories - philosophy, science and religion. The Four Noble Truths contain the essence of the Buddha’s teachings. It was these four principles that the Buddha came to understand during his meditation under the bodhi tree. Today in this scientifically and technologically developed global village, though there are many amenities, for easy living and pleasure , people are both physically and mentally not satisfied and do not have a feeling of security. Buddhism offers a few very simple and very efficacious methods to combat that. Buddhism has a role to play in our life and a role in which we, from the Buddha’s birth land, have an important part to play.
261 Aquarium Fish: Study on Mycobacterial Infection, Seema S. Korde
The present paper reports on the mycobacterial infection in short of aquarium fishes. The mycobacterial infection of freshwater fish was first described as early as 1897 by Bataillon. Samples of tissue for culture examination were homogenized in a mortar, then centrifuged, treated using the HCl – NaOH method. The growth of mycobacterial strains was monitored every 2 weeks for a periodic of two months. On the basis of biochemical methods, it was found that in the fish with granulomas which we examined, species of mycobacterium were also isolated from the fish tissue examined. From a pathogenic perspective, it is also important to note that the mycobacteria did not occur in the affiliated fish independently, but were always found together with other species of mycobacteria pathogenic for fish. It may therefore be assumed that they were not the main cause of disease in the fish, but may have appeared with the weakening for the organism or simply through accompanying mycobacterial “contamination”.
262 Isms Framework in Design and Analysis of Information Security, Sharanappa Patil
An information security management system (ISMS) is a set of policies and procedures for systematically managing an organization’s sensitive data. The goal of ISMS is to minimize risk and ensure business continuity by pro-actively limiting the impact of a security breach. This paper gives the details of about the ISMS and its significance in business where information security plays a vital role. The ISMS gives the information security measures for the business to deal with the issues relating to the security breach. An ISMS typically addresses employee behavior and processes as well as data and technology. It can be targeted towards a particular type of data, such as customer data, or it can be implemented in a comprehensive way that becomes part of the company’s culture.
263 Rayleigh-Bénard Convection With Temperature Dependent Variable Viscosity, S.Harisingh Naik
The problem of natural convection flow between two horizontal plates with variable viscosity is investigated by linear stability analysis. The transformed governing equations are numerically solved by using a Galerkin method. The results obtained are compared for special cases with earlier papers and are found to be in excellent agreement. In linear stability analysis I consider stationary convection. The results of linear stability analysis are presented for various boundary conditions viz. rigid-rigid, rigid-free, free-rigid and free-free. I have also obtained the vertical velocity eigenfunctions and tempera¬ture distribution. It is observed that the velocity of the fluid particle where it takes the maximum value is near the bottom of the fluid layer where the fluid is less viscous. Also the temperature perturbations confined to the bottom of the fluid layer.

269 Cocoa Husks Feeding Improves Some Indices of Health and Welfare of Pigs, D. Magistrelli, L. Malagutti, F. Rosi
The study evaluated the effects of dietary inclusion of cocoa husks, as source of polyphenols, on haematological indicators of animal health and welfare. Eight pigs were divided into two groups: CTRL fed a conventional cereal-based diet, and COCOA fed a diet obtained by substitution of 10% of the control diet with cocoa husks. After 6 weeks, blood was analyzed for some indices of health and welfare. Cocoa husks increased HDL cholesterol and antithrombin III, and decreased haptoglobin concentration. In humans, these results are associated with reduction of cardiovascular risk. COCOA pigs showed higher concentrations of immunoglobulins than CTRL pigs. High levels of antibodies may improve resistance to pathogen infections and, in humans, are associated to reduction of cardiovascular risk. Cocoa husks feeding may improve health and welfare of pigs. In particular, considering pigs as models for humans, cocoa husks may help reduce the risk of cardiovascular diseases.

271 A Comparative Study on Cash Flow Statements of Tata Chemicals Ltd. and Pidilite Chemicals Ltd., KALPESH GELDA, Dr. BHAVSINH M. DODIYA
A cash flow statement is required as part of a complete set of financial statements prepared in conformity with Indian Accounting Standards. AS-3 lays down a formal structure for the cash flow statement. Cash flows should be classified under the following three standard headings: “Operating activities”, “Investing activities”, “Financing activities”. The classification of cash flows among operating, investing and financing activities is essential to the analysis of cash flow data. Net cash flow (the change in cash and equivalents during the period) has little informational content by itself; it is the classification and individual components that are informative. Although the classification of cash flows into the three main categories is important, it should be mentioned that classification guidelines are arbitrary.
272 Antifungal Bioefficacy of Organic Inputs Against Fungal Pathogens of Bell Pepper, Ashlesha, Y.S. Paul

274 The Study of Shelf Life of Potassium Solubilizing Microorganisms for Liquid Biofertilizer, Dr. Kalavati Prajapati, Dr. H.A. Modi.
Liquid biofertilizer is increasingly available in the market as one of the alternatives to chemical fertilizer and pesticide. One of the benefits from biofertilizer is a contribution from population of microorganisms available. Traditionally, liquid biofertilizer produced from fermentation of effective microorganisms (EM) was recommended to be used within three months. This experiment showed that shelf life of the potassium solubilizing microorganism used as liquid biofertilizer had high amount of viable microbial population after four months of storage. The formulation study states that it can be also promoted in liquid formulation which has higher shelf life and stress protection The two conditions of storage at 4 0 C, 30 0 C, were tested by using two medium formulation (solid and liquid) upon viable microbial population. However in-depth study is required for the commercialization. The study showed that application of liquid broth formulation increases the shelf life of Enterobacter hormaechei which was used as a potassium solubilizer comparing to the solid formulation.
275 Heavy Metals (Fe, Cu, Zn and Pb) Analysis in Mustard, Cauliflower, Cabbage and Spinach Grown At Kakching-Wabagai Area, Thoubal District, Manipur, India, Naorem Mohendro Singh, Nongmaithem Rajen Singh
Potentially toxic heavy metals are non-biodegradable and their presence in small amounts can cause toxicity to human and animal lives. Heavy metals like Iron(Fe),Copper(Cu),Zinc(Zn) and Lead (Pb) can pose threat to the human live if their presence exceed the maximum permissible limits, when the vegetables are taken as common foodstuff for the sake of living. Vegetables like the Mustard (Brassica Campestris-local name Hangam–yela), Cauliflower (Brassica Oleracae Botrytislocal name Kobi thamchet-manbi), Cabbage (Brassica Oleracae Capitata-local name Kobiful-kabi) and Spinach (Spinacea Oleracae-local name Palang-sak) were collected from the Kakching-Wabagai area. Atomic Absorption Spectroscopic method were used for the quantification of the Iron, Copper, Zinc and Lead and the obtained results of Iron and Zinc were higher than the WHO/FAO and Indian Standard (Awasthi 2000) but Copper was less and no appreciable amount of Lead was detected, in critical toxic levels.
276 Customers Attitude and Perception Towards Online Shopping, Preeti Khitoliya
e- tailing, a sub set of E-commerce, facilitates online shopping with fingertips. It has mushroomed with online shopping websites in past few years in India. Existing literature revealed that people are not switching from traditional “Brick & Mortar” shopping practice to online shopping practice with the same rate in developing countries as it is in developed countries. Researchers still striving hard to understand why online shopping is not a part of everyone’s lifestyle. Therefore the present study attempt to understand the attitude and perception of customers towards online shopping. In order to complement the title, the study focuses on two aspects, first what is frequency of online shopping with respect to Age, Gender and Education level of respondent. Second, what derives respondent to shop online and what make them reluctant in adopting it.
277 Convergence of Accounting Standards in India with Ifr, Dr. Manpreet Kaur
Idea of global harmonization of accounting standards stems from lack of comparability of financial statements across the country. The main fascination with adoption or convergence of IFRS is sound business sense. Increasing cross border investing has posed a challenge to companies as they face multiple standards. Convergence with IFRS can greatly contribute to the efforts to build global financial reporting infrastructure. Though, there are many issues and challenges in the way of harmonization of accounting standards but finally India has announced its convergence with IFRS by 2015. Adoption of IFRS requires enlightened leadership and commitment from the accountancy profession, including academicians, audit firm partners and company accountants as well as from company finance directors and national regulators to overcome these challenges and promote international convergence of accounting standards.
278 Impact of FDI in Retailing on Farmers and Consumers in India, Dr. VISHNU VADDE

As such, retailing is the last link that connects the individual consumer with the manufacturing and distribution chain. The present paper tries to evaluate the overall position of the entry of FDI and its impact of FDI in retailing on farmers and consumers in India and also offer suggestions. The present study find out Indian farmers get only one third of the price consumers pay for food staples, the rest is taken as commissions and markups by middlemen and shopkeepers.
279 Secure Routing Protocols in Wireless Ad-Hoc Networks – A Survey, Dr. Banta Singh Jangra, Manish Kumar Naga
In this paper we are concerned with security of routing protocols in ad hoc wireless networks. Routing is an important operation, providing the communication protocol for data delivery between wireless devices. Assuring a secure routing protocol is a challenging task since ad hoc wireless networks are highly vulnerable to security attacks due to their unique characteristics. Traditional routing protocols designs do not address security, and are based on a mutual trust relationship between nodes. The wireless nature of communication and lack of any security infrastructure raises several security problems. We examined and classified major routing attacks and present a comprehensive survey on the state-of-the-art mechanisms and solutions designed to defeat such attacks. The current security mechanisms, each defeats one or few routing attacks. Designing routing protocols resistant to multiple attacks remains a challenging task.

281 Production and Productivity Trends of Paddy Cultivation in Jammu & Kashmir, Sakeena Rather
Agriculture even at the present times is overwhelmingly important as it provides livelihood for more than half of total work force and supplies food to the whole population. Hence, agriculture growth performance has become a serious issue of concern for both academicians and policy makers as it is subject to various fluctuations. Rice is the most important cereal crop grown in the state of Jammu & Kashmir covering about 38 percent of the total gross cropped area. This paper investigates the trends in area, production and yield of paddy in different districts of J&K by using component analysis model and Compound annual growth rate. The aggregate results for paddy shows that in some districts the output growth is due to the yield effect; whereas in other districts the output growth is due to the area effect and thus revealing that the area and yield effects although not equal, but had contribution to total change in output growth.

283 Participant Observation: in The Context of Indian Classroom, Parul
The purpose of this paper is to understand the participant observation skill. In spite of deep interest among social scientists in participant-observation field methods there is little published work on how to develop an insight to understand these methods. In this paper the author used this method to gather information regarding the classroom interaction between the teacher and the students. I have attempted to examine some of the aspects which appear to be inherent in using the human instrument for gathering interpersonal data in spite of that it is one of the most powerful and effective way in which we try to understand our fellow being. Though I have limited my analysis to participant observation on a classroom interaction between teacher and the student, but I believe that it has broader application. The core paper assesses participant observation for unique features, applications and to inspire social scientists to work upon to refine and sensitize the human instrument to insure greater validity of the data gathered.
284 Distance Education- Challenges and Responses., Idrisa H. Qadri
This study deals with problems associated with distance education and their instantaneous tentative solutions. It identifies those problems which were faced by distant learners during their course of study. Then, it provides tentative solutions to these problems and some recommendations for the betterment of distance education. The problems were associated with nature of study material, lack of multi-media instruction, insecurities about learning, lack of feedback or contact with the teacher, lack of support and services, lack of social interaction among learners, lack of student training, absence of a teacher, etc. Keeping in mind these problems, tentative solutions were suggested such as - providing equity of educational opportunity to all, careful consideration to be given to the special needs of distance learners, use of multi-media technologies, proper planning and cooperation on the part of all those who are associated with distance learning. Further, research into course development techniques will help learning institutions understand which methods work best in the distance learning.

286 Test Item Analysis and Relationship Between Difficulty Level and Discrimination Index of Test Items in an Achievement Test in Biology, Suruchi, Surender Singh Rana
Current piece of work is focussed on the analysis of test items constructed in the subject of Biology for class IX. It involved the analysis of difficulty level and discrimination power of each test item. There were 120 objective type questions in the achievement test and was administered on a sample of 500 students from government and private schools. The findings of the work showed that most of the test items fall in the acceptable range of difficulty index and discrimination index. However, nine of the test items were rejected due to very high or very low difficulty level and poor discrimination power. Using the findings relationship between the difficulty index of each item and the corresponding discrimination index is carried out using Pearson correlation formula. Instead of a linear relation, it was found that item discrimination power increased with the increase in difficulty value but got decreased for very easy and very difficult test items. This work is significant for the researchers and school teachers in framing test items with optimum difficulty and discrimination power.

288 A Study on Geotechnical Properties of Heavy Metal Contaminated Soil, Arpita V Patel
Problem statement: Soils may become contaminated by the accumulation of heavy metals and metalloids through emissions from the rapidly expanding industrial areas, mine tailings, disposal of high metal wastes, leaded gasoline and paints, land application of fertilizers, animal manures, sewage sludge, pesticides, wastewater irrigation, coal combustion residues, spillage of petrochemicals, and atmospheric deposition. Heavy metals constitute an ill-defined group of inorganic chemical hazards, and those most commonly found at contaminated sites are barium (Ba), chromium (Cr), zinc (Zn), copper (Cu), nickel (Ni), cobalt (Co), Vanadium (V) and (Sr). A.K.KRISHNA and P.K.GOVIL concluded that environmental properties of black cotton soil are highly affected by heavy metals. Heavy metal contamination has not just affected the environmental properties of the soil but will also alter the geotechnical properties of heavy metal-contaminated soil. Approach: This study presented the geotechnical properties of Heavy metal-contaminated soils as well as uncontaminated soils for comparison. Testing programs performed on the studied soils included basic properties, Atterberg limit, and compaction test. The Black cotton soils used procured from GUJARAT AGRICULTURAL BIOTECHNOLOGY INSTITUTE, SURAT. Soil samples were artificially contaminated with Barium (Ba) – 471.7 mg/kg, chromium (Cr) – 305.2 mg/kg, zinc (Zn) - 139 mg/kg, copper (Cu) – 137.5 mg/kg, nickel (Ni) - 79 mg/kg, cobbalt (Co) – 51.3 mg/kg, Vanadium (V) – 380.6 mg/kg, (Sr) – 317.9 mg/kg. Results: The results showed that the Heavy metal contamination decreased the specific gravity and Optimum Moisture Content. The liquid limit, plastic limit and Maximum Dry Density were seen to decrease with heavy metal as contaminant. Conclusion: The results showed that the addition of Heavy metal has minor effects to the geotechnical properties of the studied clayey soil. Contaminated clayey soils might be used for geotechnical purposes and these results will benefit to engineers or decision makers in recycling or re-using of contaminated soils.

293 Centrosome: The Cell Spherical Reference System Organizer, Marco Regolini
The orthogonal arrangement of the centrioles in the centrosome suggests that this organelle is the “spherical reference system” organizer in metazoan cells: based on two orthogonal protractors, one to manage geometry in the “x y” plane, the second in an orthogonal plane containing the “z” axis, the centrosome, through its aster of microtubules, subdivides the cell cortex in a map of distinct, wired, “labeled”, discrete compartments, generating a fine-tuned polarity, indispensable to organize and manage cell geometry. Moreover, counterclockwise circumferential polarity of the mother centriole organizes the molecular basis of Metazoan bilateral symmetry.
294 Improving Mobile WiMAX EAP-TTLS Authentication with Minimum Downtime and Securing its Management Channel, Apostol Cristian Gabriel, Ciprian Racuciu

We refer mainly to increase authentication, protecting the management channel, the moment of changing AAA server policy, the x.509v3 digital certificates generation, the EAP.xml configuration and the CAs recognized by the network. Doing this with minimum downtime to the active services and with a limited number of system engineers is also a challenge. The approach presented in this paper is a solution for increasing the security level of a live geographically dispersed WiMAX network, independent from the vendor
295 Performance Investigation of A Five Dimensional Coupling, Mr. P. B. Mali, Dr. S. S. Gawade
The Five Dimensional Couplings are designed to accommodate 5 degrees of shaft misalignment. This coupling allows easy adjustment to any possible misaligned shaft position without imposing heavy side loads on shafts, bearings or other machine equipment. Five Dimensional Couplings offer two parallel misalignments and three angular misalignments capabilities. The acting forces within the coupling can be precisely calculated, assuring a sound coupling design which is especially important for heavy-duty applications. If these shaft misalignments exceed the limit of the selected coupling capacity, excess side loads are introduced into the equipment which can cause vibrations, life reduction or failure of vital machine components such as bearings, motors, etc.
296 The Role of Urban Green Spaces for The Sustainable City, Jammu (J&K), Arpana Duggal, Anjana chib

Also, urban nature provides important social and psychological benefits to human societies, which enrich human life with meanings and emotions. The main concern of this paper is to address the importance of urban nature for citizens’ well being and for the sustainability of the city they inhabit. A survey conducted among visitors of an urban park in Brigadier Rajinder Singh Park, (J&K, India) is presented and discussed. The issues investigated are people’s motives for urban nature, the emotional dimension involved in the experience of nature and its importance for people’s general well being. Results confirm that the experience of nature in urban environment is source of positive feelings and beneficial services, which fulfil important immaterial and non-consumptive human needs.
297 Public Health Education in India: A Need for a Change, Dr.Sriram Chandramohan
This Paper analyzes the present postgraduate public health education for the health programming and suggests some solutions for the institutes to adopt or adapt for improving the quality of their scholars, to fulfill the needs of public health in the developing countries and particularly in India. In the last few years there is a conscious shift in public health education in India with a few institutions (with medical and nonmedical background) initiating public health programs for both medical and nonmedical graduates.) There is a stark difference between the hype around higher education and the real picture as most of the universities/ institutions in India are facing shortage of quality teachers, lack of funds, obsolete curriculum, and wrong government policies. Public health teachers should assume to be high-level learners and are expected to devise mechanisms of interactions with the field of learning (individuals, families, people at large, community, implementers, supervisors, program planners, managers, and PH leaders) that engage MPH students for quick and appropriate learning so that the students utilize their creativity for interaction. To make students confident and committed, encouraging both personal and professional development is a value-add the institutions can take upon them.
298 Stability Assesment in Okra - Abelmoschus esculentus - L. Moench, Namita R, Dr Mulge R, Arunkumar K
The phenotypic stability of 53 genotypes of okra (30 varieties and 23 hybrids) grown over three environments was studied for growth and yield characters. Variance due to genotypes and environments was highly significant for these characters. The large variation in regression values indicated large differences in genotype response to different environments. G x E interaction was significant for plant height, intermodal length, number of fruits per plant, total yield per plant and yield per plot. The genotype Arka Abhay was found promising and stable for plant height, internodal length. The hybrids KAOH09 and KAOH08 were found highest yielder and also stable for total yield per plant. The F1 hybrids had greater stability for yield across the environments compared to open pollinated varieties. Stability of the crosses was attributed to the stability of parents. Stability for yield is attributed to stability for component traits.

300 The Act of Rebalancing the Portfolio, Muhasin Haneefa
Expectation of risk and return are determined by a portfolio’s asset allocation. Over the time, market return can cause one or more assets to drift away from their initial target asset allocation, leading to portfolio that may not reflect an investor’s risk tolerance. An investor should decide which rebalancing strategy he should adopt in order to maintain his initial target asset allocation. This paper presents why an investor should rebalance their portfolio and the different rebalancing strategy that investors can adopt to maintain their target asset allocation.
301 Corporate Social Responsibility approach of Dr. Reddy’s Labs: An analysis, Dr. G.Sandhya Rani, V.Jagadeeswari
Globalization brought MNCs and consumers close to each other. MNCs focused on long term returns instead of short term profits. They wish to maintain a good and fair relation with the people in the society. Apart from the activities of sales promotion, they concentrated on developmental activities to uplift the standards of children, women, aged and rural youth and to promote environmental balance. For this purpose they have been allotting certain percent from their profits. Governments of concerned countries are also encouraging these types of activities by giving required amenities to such companies. Often it is argued that in order to maintain the long term relation with the consumers MNCs concentrated on social issues and included welfare activities for the society through a non-profitable organization. Keeping this in view ‘CSR strategies of Dr. Reddy’s Foundation (DRF)’ have been chosen for the study as they represent distinct categories among the Indian private companies.
302 Technological Security Aspects for Internet Banking, Soumyajit Das, Dr. Pranam Dhar
The present day banking business is, to a great extent, dependent on ‘Electronic Banking’. The term ‘Electronic Banking’ means banking through internet i.e Internet Banking where the physical presence of the consumers in the bank is not mandatory. Electronic banking, also known as electronic fund transfer (EFT), uses computer and electronic technology as a substitute for the negotiable instruments like cheques, drafts etc and other paper transactions. EFTs are initiated through devices like cards or codes that let one or those one authorizes, access one’s account. Because of the commercial failure of videotex these banking services never became popular except in France where the use of videotex (Minitel) was subsidised by the telecom provider and the UK, where the prestel system was used. As Internet Banking is a relatively new area of banking in India so people in India are still not very conversant with electronic banking. Further as it is directly related to money and fund, people are very hesitant about using it because of different farudulant activities. So as far Internet banking is concerned customers are very keen to safeguard them by consolidating the security aspects of Internet Banking.
303 A Study on Agreement on TRIMs and India, Abhipsa Vagadia

304 Enhancement of Critical Thinking: Case Study of Kazguu (Kazakhstan), Gulfiya Zh. Kuchumova, Anar Kh. Baizhanova
Critical thinking skills are undoubtedly considered today as an important outcome of higher education, they are viewed as essential abilities that need to be germinated and developed in order to train a qualified specialist. This paper throws some light on the current teaching approaches applied in General Linguistics and Translation Studies Department (KAZGUU, Kazakhstan) aimed to improve language students’ critical thinking capacity. One of such approaches described in the article is interactive home reading class specially designed for students learning English as a foreign language. Home reading classes are not merely designed for students predominantly perceiving world verbally while reading, but can be easily changed in such classes that can satisfy requirements and preferences of students having dominant interpersonal intelligence, bodily-kinesthetic intelligence, existential intelligence, special intelligence. All this is achievable due to, firstly, interactive teaching methods when students can cooperate whether in class or out of it, mingle in the class, and secondly, thanks to new technologies making lessons more vivid and exciting. Films give students an opportunity to observe the details they missed in the narration while reading, to get film director’s point of view on the issues described in the text, as films are also considered as a form of text interpretation. The given research was carried out with the help of such methods as sociological survey among students, statistical analysis, observation and descriptive method. Overall, the information is presented in the form of reflection on present situation in the department and personal teaching experience.
305 Green Banking: Initiatives By SBI and ICICI, Geetika Jaggi
Although, banking is never considered a polluting industry, the present scale of banking operations have considerably increased the carbon footprint of banks due to their massive use of energy. Green banking refers to the banking business in such a manner that helps the overall reduction of external carbon emission and internal carbon footprint. The paper presents the concept of Green Banking and the green initiatives taken by the largest public sector bank i.e State Bank of India (SBI) and largest private sector bank i.e ICICI Bank.

307 “Best Practices” in Voluntary Organisations, Prashant Chaudhry
Under the Eight-five-year plan, India has adopted a policy of economic liberalization, which opens up the doors for “Business Organisations” to contribute in social and welfare activities. Such participation has been channeled by the concept of “Corporate Social Responsibility”. Now, many corporate houses are providing funds to voluntary Organisations working in the areas of health, education, empowerment, governance, disability etc. The large inflow of funds from the business Organisations has brought significant changes in the role and nature of voluntary Organisations. The present paper is an attempt to qualitative analysis of ‘Best Practices’ adopted by the voluntary organizations at all levels of their functioning. These changes have created voluntary sector more efficient for the advancement of various services towards nation building.
308 Role of P-O-P in Marketing, Mr. Ashish Nathwani
Specialized retailers are developing rapidly in segments such as consumer durable and white goods, books, music, lifestyle goods, household furnishing, health care and beauty care. While most consumers still state that product brands are more important to them than retail brands, most would not waste the time to seek out their preferred brand at another store if it is not available where they are shopping. A study by POP (1995) indicated that PoP communication seem to influence impulse purchase more as compared to planned purchase. Shopping has been defined as the act of identifying the store and purchasing from it. Sinha and Uniyal (2005) found that shoppers changed their information search process according to stores, even when the same product and in some cases the same brand was being bought. One of the biggest factors at play is social influence. Consumers seek to imitate people they admire and will buy the same brands as their favorite athlete, model, or actress. All consumers are influenced by their learning experience. When creating POP materials for your marketing effort, use bright colors, engaging graphics, and simple messages. The dynamic nature of retailing has created conditions whereby traditional marketing and advertising has diminished in effectiveness. Today’s consumer has many choices when it comes to making a purchasing decision across all product categories.
309 Introduction of Merger, Acquisition and Divestitures, Prof. J.M. Ramanuj
Merger and acquisitions are the most popular form of corporate restructuring for expanding or increasing the size and volume of the business. The corporate world today is the witnessing a sudden surge in this form of corporate restructuring, sweeping across all the industries which has totally restructured the market place. It has been prominent in the advanced capitalist countries since the late twentieth century. But only in recent times it becomes a regular phenomenon in developing countries. The total number of merger and acquisitions worldwide increased almost four-fold during 1990 to 2001. This trend is different from earlier scenario wherein the merger and acquisitions was looked upon as a threat and had evoked images of dark shadow and backdoor entries to the corporate world. Divestitures are a form of retrenchment strategy used by businesses when they downsize the scope of their business activities. Divestment usually involves eliminating a portion of a business. Firms may elect to sell, close, or spin-off a strategic business unit, major operating division, or product line. This move often is the final decision to eliminate unrelated, unprofitable, or unmanageable operations.
310 The Molecular Pathology of Ewings Family of Tumors: Its Relevance to the Diagnosis and Prognosis in the Pediatric Age Group, Dr. Upasana Das, Dr. Asaranti Kar, Dr. Tithi Parija, Dr. N.C.Parija, Dr. Lity Mohanty, Dr. Niranjan Rout, Dr. Jayasree Rath, Dr. Siva Saumendra Sahoo,
Background: Ewing’s sarcoma family of tumours share the common genetic chromosomal translocation. Though the family of tumours vary according to their location one common fusion protein product of the translocation has been detected since last decade which is constantly associated with the Ewing’s family of tumors. This aberrant expression of the genetic product alters the cell proliferation and differentiation which results in Ewing’s sarcoma. In today’s scenario the detection of this novel genetic specific translocation between chromosome 11 and chromosome 22 is useful in primary diagnosis and prognostic assessment of the patient. Therefore we conducted the present study to assess the patient’s outcome after the diagnosis and survival. Material & methods: Cases of solid tumors in the pediatric age group were included in the study. After relevant clinical details and radiological investigations, fine needle aspiration cytology smears and histopathology sections were evaluated. Special stains and immunohistochemistry were done in the required fields. Molecular analysis was done in selected cases of Ewing’s sarcoma. Results: A total number of 161 cases were studied .Out of 21 cases of Ewing’s sarcoma, RT-PCR study was done in 10 cases to find out the molecular biological details. 90% cases showed presence of fusion gene. The patients were followed-up for a period of 2 years to assess their survival. Conclusion:The diagnostic problem of distinguishing Ewing’s sarcoma from other small blue round ell tumours is resolved due to RT-PCR. Also presence of EWS and FLI1 can relate to prognoss and therapeutic response.

The dengue case positivity rate were rising year by year (13.54% in 2011, 37.5% in 2012 and 42.86% in 2013). 51.69% of dengue positive cases were reported in the age group of 16-30 years. Male-to-female ratio is 2.42:1 with higher positive cases from urban areas (62.36%). 88.20% dengue cases were recorded between July to December with seasonal peak 4-6 weeks after arrival of rain. Conclusion: Epidemiological trend may be of help to local health authorities for early diagnosis and implementation of measures targeting the risk population.
312 A Study of Referral Cases of Post Partum Hemorrhage- Still An Obstetrical Tragedy which is Largely Preventable, Dr Neetu Singh, Dr Kiran Pandey, Dr. Bandana Sharma, Dr. Guneeta Mehta, Dr. Ani Chandanan
Aims: to study the socio-demographic profile, etiology and maternal morbidity in referred cases of post partum hemorrhage. Methods: This was a retrospective study conducted at department of obstetrics of GSVM Medical College, Kanpur from Jan 2010 to Sept 2013. Only referred cases of post partum hemorrhage were included. Records were analyzed with respect to demographic profile, etiologic factors, maternal morbidity and mortality. Results: Among all referred cases (1250), 61.36% of cases were due to post partum hemorrhage (751/1250). Majority of the referred cases of post partum hemorrhage belonged to lower socio-economic status and rural area. 63.52% of the patients were multipara. Most common cause was atonic (38.48%) followed by combined post partum hemorrhage (31.29%). Most common complication was hypovolemic shock (28.8%). Maternal mortality was 8.92%. Conclusion: By promoting institutional delivery by skilled personnel and timely referral, we can decrease incidence of post partum hemorrhage and therefore maternal morbidity and mortality
313 Case Report: A Rare Presentation of Haemoglobin D Disease, Dr Divya Poosarla
Haemoglobin D (Hb D) is the fourth most common haemoglobin variant. With the exact chemical analysis of hemoglobin variants, it became apparent that hemoglobin DLos Angeles was identical to hemoglobin DPunjab, both manifesting a substitution of glutamate for lysine at the 121st position in the ? -chain. Another “D” hemoglobin, GPhiladelphia, is, on the other hand, an ?-chain variant with a substitution of asparagine for lysine at the 68th position. Like the other structural mutations of hemoglobin, hemoglobin D trait is the heterozygous state for hemoglobin D and hemoglobin A, whereas the homozygous state for hemoglobin D is designated hemoglobin D disease. Hb D disease is usually clinically silent with no special treatment required. Homozygous Hb DD is rare and a relatively mild disease. Though Hemoglobin D is not very uncommon in India, its homozygous form is very rare and very few case reports have been reported. I hereby present a case of symptomatic Hb D homozygous, who presented with hemolytic anemia and hepatospleenomegaly from Turvekere, Karnataka which is a rare phenomenon.
314 Diagnostic Challenges of Fine Needle Aspiration Cytology of Focal Hepatic Lesions, DR YOGENDRA MADAN, DR SHAMIM S. SHEIKH
Background: Space-occupying lesions (SOL), such as metastatic tumors and other focal lesions, produce changes in the liver parenchyma adjacent to lesion. Single or multiple hepatic SOL is a major indication for fine needle aspiration cytology (FNAC) to evaluate possible tumor. Method: Ultrasonographic (USG) guided FNAC was performed in 44 cases who present as hepatic SOL on USG. Cytomorphological features of hepatic SOL are discussed and diagnostic accuracy and limitations of ultrasonography guided FNAC was evaluated. Result: The diagnostic yield was 90.90%. Benign lesions were 31.81% whereas malignant lesions were 54.54%. Most common benign lesion encountered was abscess. The ratio of metastatic carcinoma to primary Hepatocelluler carcinoma in present study was 3.6: 1. Most common metastasis was of adenocarcinoma type (44.44%). Conclusion: FNAC is a safe, useful and economic procedure with minimum complication and can be routinely done for diagnosis of liver diseases.

Background: Tuberculous lymphadenopathy is an important form of extrapulmonary tuberculosis. The role of fine needle aspiration cytology (FNAC) in the diagnosis of such lesions is a well-known fact. Aims: To study the distribution of cytomorphological patterns of tuberculous lymphadenitis. and role of repeat aspiration in diagnosing tuberculous lymphadenitis. Methods: The study was conducted in the department of Pathology, Shri M.P.Shah Medical College, Jamanagar, from December 2013 to May 2014. Detailed clinical history with relevant investigations were taken. FNACs were done and the smears were stained with May-Grünwald Giemsa and Ziehl-Neelsen stain. Results: Out of 180 lymph node aspirations 74 cases were diagnosed as tuberculous lymphadenitis. Four cytomorphologic patterns were observed: 1) Caseating epithelioid granulomas: 42 cases (56.7%). 2) Granulomatous: 23 cases (31.1%). 3)Necrotising lymphadenitis: 7 cases (9.4%), 4) Necrotising and suppurative: 2 cases (2.8%). AFB positivity was seen in 32 cases (43.24%). 58 cases showed reactive lymphadenitis repeat aspiration was advised after a course of antibiotics. Out of 18 cases that turned-up for re-aspiration, 11 cases showed subsequent development of epithelioid granulomas, whereas the others still had reactive features. Conclusion: FNAC is a useful tool in the diagnoses of tuberculous lymphadenitis, and repeat aspiration after 2 - 3 weeks helps in providing the correct diagnosis of early tubercular lesions.
316 Systematic Review on Dietary Intake and Metabolic Syndrome in Children and Adolescents, Mojgan Nourian, Zaitun Yassin, Mohd Nasir MohdTaib, Fahimeh Haghighatdoost, Roya Kelishadi
Metabolic syndrome(MetS) has been broadly studied in adults. However,because of the lack of auniversal definition for MetS in pediatric populations, few studies have been conducted on this frequent disorder among children.Lifestyle factors play an important role in the pathogenesis of MetS. A cornerstone of the treatment in MetS patients is the use of a healthy diet to improve all abnormalities. Most of available studies focused on lifestyle changes for treatment of MetS in adolescents, and there are only few studies which assessed the specific role of diet therapy for MetS among children and adolescents. It is important since sometimes it is not applicable to encourage children to be more active. Hence, in the present article, we aimed to review the dietary intake and recommendations for treatment of pediatric MetS.
317 Dental Infetions in Children, Dr.Vishwas B. Chaugule, Dr.Amit U. Gupte, Dr. Prasad Jathar, Dr.Pritesh Gawali, Dr. Ashish Kulsunge
Infections are ubiquitous and affect one and all. Acquisition of oral microbial flora commences right from the time the child is born. Although most of these microorganisms are commensals in the oral cavity, some are pathogenic, while others are opportunistic pathogens. Certain microorganisms arise only after the development of specific ecological niches like the teeth. The most specific tooth born pathogen is Strep. mutans, which is responsible for the initiation of dental caries, while tissue borne micro-organisms like Actinomycetes contribute towards the development of periodontal infections. Apart from such bacterial infections, children are also exposed to fungal and viral infections during the course of their growth and development. By virtue of the constant changes occurring in the normal anatomical structures and the physiology, the route of spread of infection in children differs from that in an adult. Hence it is essential to understand the genesis of dental infections in children and establish a definite preventive and treatment regimen to combat these dental infections, as children are the future pillars of society.
318 Decortication and Thoracoscopy as Modalities of Treatment for Thoracic Empyema in Pediatric Patients., Patel Mikir C, Patel Hritik R
Empyema thoracis is a pyogenic or suppurative infection of the pleural space. Empyema are the most common exudative type of pleural effusion.Empyema is never a primary disease, though it is often difficult to arrive at primary focus of infection,most common cause of empyema is sequela of inadequately treated pneumonia.Acute empyema is treated by antibiotics,immediate drainage of pus via aspiration,intercostal drainage tube insertion with or without the help of thoracoscope. Thoracoscopy is an alternative procedure for multiloculated empyema which is considered in patients who do not respond to antibiotics and drainage. With thoracoscopy, Theloculations in the pleural space can be disrupted and the pleural space can be drained completely.Thoracoscopy early in the management of fibrinopurulent stage of empyema is more effective.If extensive adhesions are present or thick pleural peel entraps the lung, the procedure may be converted to open thoracotomy and decortications.In case where there is much thickening of the pleura, Decortication is the treatment of choice. It allows delicate parenchyma of lung to expand. and patients are explained breathing, exercises to promote early expansion of lung.
319 Factor XIII Deficiency Presenting As Persistent Umbilical Bleeding In Newborn - A Case Report, Dr.Shivaprakash N C, Dr.Kedarnath G T, Dr Uday Shankar S

At 15 seconds the seeds retained at bottom portion was heavier with 92 per cent recovery. The seed and seedling quality characters in terms of germination and vigour index were also higher in these seeds compared to bulk and blown seeds.
326 Health Problems of Rural Aged: A Social work Intervention, Pradeep Kumar P C
Ageing is natural and universal phenomena. All living organisms including human beings go through the process from conception to infancy, childhood, puberty, and senescence during their life span. Ageing is considered as the closing period in the life span, as old age is connected with deterioration and changes in bodily functions. The reason for these changes is iological and environmental, socio-economic and cultural in nature. Many believe that ageing is an incremental phase in the life span and incremental phase of life cycle beside with which this is to be strictly considered that ageing is also associated with many health problems and diseases. Hence this study is undertaken to understand the health status of elderly and to gather some information about their perceived health needs using the information at Davangere district. The present study is descriptive in nature; hence an attempt is made to describe the situation and major health problems faced by the elderly from 100 elderly populations of aged between 60 years and above in three rural communities of Davangere district.
327 Problems and Prospects of Women Entrepreneurs in India, Dr. V. R. Palanivelu, T. Srividhya
The emergence of entrepreneurs in agriculture and allied activities can propel our rural population into self-sustaining individuals, who in turn can catalyze the development of economy. The concepts of entrepreneur and entrepreneurship have been frequently applied to industrial sector. Agriculture, on the other hand, has largely been viewed as non-entrepreneurial traditional activity. For rural folk it is a way for life. Hence farmers were never visualized as business operators and farming as an enterprise. Not much has been developed to farmers into rational business, sensing individuals or in other words ‘entrepreneurs’. The genesis of entrepreneurship in agriculture and allied activities ,is quite recent. It is now being widely accepted that increase in production, productivity, of terms, farm diversification, innovation and Development of farmers into self sustaining individuals follow inoculation of the entrepreneurial qualities among the farmers. Factors like liberalization of the economy have created the right ambience for growth of entrepreneurs in agriculture. It is estimated that presently women entrepreneurs comprise about 10% of the total entrepreneurs in India. The term “Women Entrepreneurship” mean, an act of business ownership and business creation that empowers

333 Kohlberg’s Stager of Moral Reasoning in The Context of Intelligence and Socio Economic Status of High School Students, Dr. S.S. Rana
Education is a powerful tool for the cultivation of values among students. At every stage, in any system of education, character development is regarded as one of the important aim of education. There are various psychological approaches to moral development. One of the most important approach is cognitive development approach by Kohlberg (1966), which concentrates largely on individual moral judgement that is the reason behind the judgement they make. This study was to investigate the impact of Kohlberg’s stages of moral reasoning on intelligence and socio-economic status of high school students. The data of present study was analyzed by ‘t’ test and co-efficient of correlation.

335 Idealist Theory of Consciousness: a Fragment of Saksin Phenomenology, Dr.Sheeja O.K
Much of the Indian philosophy is cognitive in the sense that it is a direct inquiry into the elevation of phenomenal consciousness (cit) to higher and higher levels of cognitive activity. This paper examines the description of Consciousness asSaksin in Advaita Philosophy. The Advaita theory of consciousness is not restricted to the analysis of epistemological crises, it also analyses metaphysical issues. Consciousness is one and homogeneous, indivisible and eternal. It is also referred to as self or atman. In Advaita, we can find a phenomenology of levels of consciousness. Consciousness is simply a witness to its own operation and divergent modes. It is eternal, non-dual and remains unchanged. Significant feature of Advaita phenomenology of consciousness is that consciousness at a certain level, simply a witness to its own operation and divergent modes. This idea or level of consciousness is witness consciousness. In the absence of such a consciousness, experience or knowledge would not be possible.

340 Caste-system and transformation in Ravindranth Tagore’s “Gora” and Premchand’s “Godan” through the characters of “Gora” and “Mattadeen”., Vaghela Jagruti Laljibhai
In the pre-Independent India, caste-system and untouchability played a vital role on the plight of the poor people, especially peasants and untouchables affected and suffered lot. Brahmins, Kshatriya, Vaishya and Shudra are four category of Indian people. They are classified by their birth. Actually karma (Deed) makes the man - not birth, as per Hindu mythology. Gradually, this principle has been forgotten and higher-caste people judged low-caste people by birth and made them untouchables. Some people who believe in karma and humanity join Brahmo-samaj, Arya-samaj, prarthana-samaj etc. But they are also classified as untouchables in orthodox Hindu-society. Some of them are also prejudiced. Ravindranath Tagore and Munsi Premchand are reformist writers. They made people understand that humanity is the main caste, not anything else. Everyone is creation of God. Though by the prejudiced character of Gora and Mattadeen we come to know about preIndependent caste-system, youth and flows of socialization and individual’s transformation by experience.

348 Role of Packaging on Consumer Buying Behaviour Towards Green FMCG Products, K.Sudhalakshmi,Dr.K.M.Chinnadorai
The importance of packaging design as a vehicle for communication and branding is growing in competitive markets for packaged green FMCG products. This research utilized a focus group methodology to understand consumer behavior toward such products. The challenge for researchers is to integrate packaging into an effective purchasing decision model, by understanding Consumer’s behavior towards the packaging of green FMCG products. When consumers search for and process information in-store, the product’s package can contain relevant and useful information for the consumer. Product packaging forms the end of the ‘promotion-chain’ and is close in time to the actual purchase and may therefore play an important role in predicting consumer outcomes. Packages also deliver brand identification and label information like usage instructions, contents, and list of ingredients or raw materials, warnings for use and directives for care of product. The study reveals that the packaging plays a major role in the consumer decision making process. The packaging has a greater influence on the impulse buying behaviour.

371 Nawalgarh Haveli Paintings: A Theme Depended on Ramayan, Dr. Madan Lal Rajyora
Wall painting as an art genre enjoyed great popularity in India starting in the 2nd century B.C., but attaining its pinnacle only in the 6th century A.D., with the splending paintings of Ajanta and then others. In the 16-17th centuries they underwent a vigorous revival and played an important role in the decoration of the royal palaces, in the homes of the noble and rich, in temples and cenotaphs. Unfornmately the inveterate Indian custom of periodically ‘renovating’ the decoration of homes and temples by repainting them or drastically erasing parts of them is leading to the destruction of important works of art from the past. The aim of the present book is also to document the serious damage caused to this Indian artistic heritage. The earliest examples of Indian painting, that we find evidence of, are on the walls of some of the caves in the Kaimur Range of Central India, Vindhya Hills and some places in Uttar Pradesh. Nawalgarh is a town in Jhunjhunu district of Indian state Rajasthan. It is part of the Shekhawati region and is midway between Jhunjhunu and Sikar. Nawalgarh is famous for its fresco and havelis and considered as Golden City of Rajasthan. It is also the motherland of some great business families of India. The theme of the wall painting or frescoes decorating the beautiful “havelis” of Shekhawati region has changed over a period of time. In the earlier days at the time of its inception, mythology dominated the themes of frescoes, which shows the local legends, animal, portraits, hunting and wrestling. But a century later there was a change in the theme of the paintings to reflect the British influence in Indian culture. The traditional subjects were replaced by cars, trains, balloons, telephones, gramophones, men in suits hunting and portraits of havili owners immaculately dressed.

387 The Effect of Gamma Radiation on Optical Properties and Hall Effect of Thin Zns Film, Shatha S.M. Alazzawi
In this search prepared Zinc sulfide (ZnS) thin film by using the thermal method of evaporation in vacuum under pressure 5x10-5 mbar of thickness 300nm on glass substrate at room temperature. Also the search had included studying some of the structure and optical and electrical properties of ZnS thin film before and after irradiation from Co-60 with ray dose (10) Mrad. The results of X-ray examination showed that the granular size become less after irradiation because the intensity of the non irradiation film is larger than that of irradiation. This means that crystallization become less because the granular size become less. The measurement of the absorption and transmittance spectra within the range of wavelength of (200-600) nm. The absorption seems to be higher in the radiation than the irradiation films. The increase of the absorption occur when the photon energy is equal to the value of the energy gap then the electronic transfers between the valance and the conduction band will began, this is useful in applications of photovoltaic, sensors and solar cell. The transmittances decreased with radiation by gamma in the wavelength larger than 400nm. Absorption coefficient of ZnS thin films has the same value and the same behavior of A, and it increased with increasing wavelength to value 300 nm then it will be almost constant. This because of the increased value of the absorbance. Direct band gap energy of ZnS thin films was estimated to be 2.4 eV for non irradiative thin film and 2.1 eV for irradiative thin film. The decrease in the values of optical energy gap after exposure to radiation and the reason for this is due to formation of localized levels within the optical energy gap which leads to decrease the values of energy gap. Refractive index of ZnS thin films at 500 nm wavelength for non irradiative film 1.9 and for the film after irradiation is 2.3. Extinction coefficient value for the film before irradiation 0.29 and 0.31 after irradiation at 500 nm. The entire sample P-type, with irradiation the conductivity decrease two order of magnitude, and also the kereru of concentration decreases one order of magnitude. The mobility increase six times by irradiation.

391 Effect of Progersterone Dose and Intravaginal Sponge Diameter on Reproductive Performance of Induced-Estrous Local Ewes in West Java, Soeparna Soeparna,Rangga Setiawan,Siti Darodjah,Tita Damayanti Lestari
The use of estrous induction technique is able to synchronize estrous of each ewe in order to increase the reproductive efficiency of livestock. However, the success rate of this technique is very dependent on the progesterone dose and its absorbance in the body. Therefore, this study was aimed to figure out reproductive performance of local sheep induced by the combination of progesterone doses and vaginal sponge diameters. 48 local ewes were used in this study and were grouped into 12 treatment groups. The treatments consist of the combination of progesterone doses (20, 30, and 40 mg) with vaginal sponge diameters (1, 2, 3, and 4 cm). The method used a randomized block design and the measured variables were: estrous response, pregnancy rate, litter size, and birth weight. The result showed that the highest estrous responses of the ewes were from the combination of sponge diameter 4 cm in all variation of progesterone doses. Meanwhile, the best pregnancy rate was found in the group of 20 and 30 mg progesterone dose in the diameter of 2 cm. However, this study did not find any difference among groups for litter size and birth weight. In conclusion, estrous induction using progesterone is effectively to synchronize estrous phase and pregnancy period of ewes, although it does not effect on litter size and birth weight of lamb.

396 Domestic Violence and Subjective Well Being Among The Women Professionals And House Wives, K.Selvi, Dr.K.Muralidharan
Domestic Violence can be described as when one adult in a relationship misuses power to control another. It is the establishment of control and fear in a relationship through violence and other forms of abuse. The violence may involve physical abuse, sexual assault and threats. Sometimes it’s more subtle, like making someone feel worthless, not letting them have any money, or not allowing them to leave the home. Social isolation and emotional abuse can have long-lasting effects as well as physical violence. Many women in India are the victims of domestic abuse. Innumerable women who silently suffer assaults and abuses everyday inside every second home across the country can now perhaps look forward to a remedy that protects their vulnerable position. The phenomenon of domestic violence is widely prevalent but has remained largely unseen. The present study concludes that moderate level of domestic violence was found among both working professionals and house wives. The subjective well being was found to be moderate among the working professionals and high among the house wives. However, not much difference is noticed between these two categories of women with respect to domestic violence and subjective wellbeing.
397 Spread of Buddhism in the West, Ravi Chandra Reddy Bhimavarapu
The ‘come and see for yourself’ attitude of Buddhism attracts many Westerners. They are not asked to believe in anything, but to follow the Buddha’s advice of testing ideas first. Buddhist attitudes of peace, mindfulness and care for all living creatures have come to be the concern of many groups in the West. very few people in Europe or America would have known what the word ‘Buddhist’ meant unless they had been born in the last 50 years Around the middle of the nineteenth century, a few Buddhist texts were translated into European languages. Thus Buddhist teaching came to be known to the European scholars. A few of them who were influenced by Buddhism, introduced Buddhist ideas into their own writings. Later, more and better European translations of Buddhist texts were made by the early part of the twentieth century, a large number of Buddhist texts had already been translated into English, French and German. This includes virtually the entire collection of Theravada scriptures as well as a number of important Mahayana texts.
398 Comparison of Speed and Explosive Power Among Different Levels of Handball Players, Dr. B. Chittibabu
The purpose of our study is to analyse speed and explosive power among differenent levels of handball players. Sixty (60) male handball players were selected as subjects from AGM Higher secondary school, Thuraiyur. These players were classified into three groups namely junior (20), senior (20) and super senior (20). These players were tested on speed and explosive power which was selected as criterion variables and measured by 50 yards dash and standing broad jump. Analysis of variance (ANOVA) was computed and revealed a significant difference on speed (F = 8.82, p < 0.05) and explosive power (F = 5.95, p < 0.05). We concluded that speed and explosive power significantly differ among different level male handball players in school may be due to experience and physiological changes.

Statistical technique used in the present study was ANCOVA for aerobic power and anaerobic power. The result of the study revealed that eight weeks of high intensity interval training resulted in 8.20% of improvement in aerobic power (F(1,27) =108.04, p < 0.05) and 28.58% in anaerobic power (F(1,27) =28.54, p < 0.05). It is concluded that high intensity interval training for eight weeks resulted in improvement of aerobic power and anaerobic power of male handball players.
400 Role of E-Business Towards Borderless Economy, Dr. Mairaj Salim
Technology in the modern world has advanced a standard of living that we could not imagine even twenty-five years ago. No king in history has been in possession of the vast array of time, work and life savers that are readily available to even the most ordinary citizen today, yet we are all still pioneers in terms of the advances to come. The invention of the personal computer sent a silent shot heard around the world a run at the universe that has exploded into our offices and our homes. Today, we readily accept the concept of the “borderless economy.” The term conjures images of a river of international commerce circumnavigating the globe, millions of “net-izens” wired together in a virtual community of consumers, and commercial transactions consummated at the speed of light. In a word, this revolution is e-business. E-business is, by definition, global. Business methods that are effective and acceptable in one jurisdiction may either not be permitted or work well in other markets. Expect variations in practice across national lines, despite the best efforts of international rulemaking bodies. The paper discussion deals with emergence of its relative competitive relevance in borderless world.

404 A Study on Mental Health of High School Students, Dr. C. Maria Ugin Joseph
Twenty first century is an era of acute modernization. The school environment is an optimal context to provide mental health services. Media throws abundant cross-cultural exposure to the students, and at times, so called; social media leads students to the evils of maladjustment, loneliness, addictedness and loss of socio-emotional support. Researches reveal that children with better mental health do better academically and socially. The study reveals the following findings: The level of mental health of high school students is moderate. There is significant difference between boys and girls in their level of mental health. There is significant difference between rural and urban students in their level of mental health. There is no significant difference between students of nuclear and joint family in their level of mental health. The educational programme such as yoga, meditation, cultural activities…etc should be planned in such a way to improve mental health among students.
405 Empowerment of Muslim Women, Dr. Shivendra Pratap Singh
Empowerment of women as described in National Policy of Empowerment of women 2002 takes Economic empowerment and social empowerment as its basic parameters. Economic empowerment includes poverty eradication and income generation and social empowerment includes education, health and nutrition etc. Apart from these parameters other aspects which determine women’s empowerment are mobility, self esteem and choice of career. In the case of Muslim women the state of empowerment is still not clear hence a study about their actual status is required. In many cases we find a number of myths related to their rights being propagated by various extremist groups (both Hindu and Muslim). It is by and large observed that while the outsiders carry a very biased view of Muslim women and are generally not aware of the reality, Muslim women also tend to not realize their actual status. Most of them are not clear about the rights given to them by Islam as a religion as well as the Indian constitution. This paper aims at bringing about general awareness among the Muslim women about their status, rights and duties.
406 Problem Solving Ability of Secondary School Students in Relation to Their Attitude to wards Mathematics, Dr. Ehtesham Anwar
This study investigated the problem solving ability of secondary school students in relation to their attitude towards Mathematics. The students of class IX studying in secondary schools of Lucknow city constitute the population of the study. The sample consists of 250 students of Class IX from 6 different secondary schools of Lucknow. Null hypotheses were formulated to examine the relationship between problem solving ability and attitude towards Mathematics and to compare the problem solving ability of secondary school students having high and low attitude towards Mathematics. A marginal relationship was found between problem solving ability of secondary school students and their attitude towards Mathematics. It was also found that high or low attitude towards Mathematics has not any impact on the problem solving ability of the students. Therefore it can be concluded that if a student possess high or low problem solving ability, it does not necessarily possesses mean that his attitude towards Mathematics is also high or low.

411 Areal Declination of Paddy Cultivation and Its Impact on Food Security - A Study on Karrimpuzha Watershed - Palakkad District, Kerala., Richard Scaria, P. K. Vijayan
In the name of development over the past few decades Kerala agriculture land use as undergone drastic changes, to mention a few, the hills are mined, scared grooves are damaged and paddy fields converted to nonagricultural use. Agriculture is the main stay of the economy and is the only source of food both for direct consumption and as raw material for refined foods. The accelerating rate of paddy field conversions into non-agricultural uses lead to one of the current challenging issues of water scarcity, biodiversity loss, rural unemployment and food insecurity. Food security concern is of utmost importance to food deficit state of Kerala. Where a large percentage of its population is poor and still a high share of total house hold expenditure is devoted to food, food security can become a reality only when the agricultural sector is vibrant. In this context this study is been carried out taking Karrimpuzha watershed, which is situated in the central part of Palakkad district which has recorded a great loss of paddy area. This paper attempts to examine the conversion of paddy fields to other uses and its impact on the food security.

413 Impact of Shrimp Culture In Chilika Area, East-Coast of India: A Study of Krushnaprasad Block of Puri District, Odisha, Bibhuti Bhusan Dora, P. K. Kara
Commercial shrimp farming in India expanded rapidly after trade liberalisation initially were introduced in early 1990s. This paper examines the social, economic and environment impact that has been generated in the community along Odishacoast in East India. The result suggests that macro-level policies such as trade liberalization are useful at the national level, but at the local level they can generate imbalanced growth. Although the shrimp farming has generated substantial foreign exchange at the local level, it has widened the gap between rich and poor. To protect the livelihoods of the rural communities and the environment India needs to formulate effective coastal resource management policies and established adequate institutions at the local level this will help ensure a stable source of income from shrimp farming for small scale farmers and minimise adverse impact on the local environment.
414 Community Managed Forests a Potential Sources of Carbon Sink: A Case Study from Kumaun Central Himalaya, Jitendra Bhatt
Participatory approaches to forest management have gained wide acceptance worldwide and have also become the primary guiding principle in the management of natural resources. The state Uttarakhand is ecologically and socially diverse owing to distinct climatic, physiographic factors and demographic setup. Community management of the forests in the state as Van Panchayat (V P) started from the year 1932 and close to 7211 km2 area (19 % of the total forest area) presently managed by the V Ps. Present study was carryout in a seventy years old V P of Kumaun Himalaya to investigate community perception, change in vegetation dynamics, C stock and C sequestration rate. The selected V P was monitored for ten years to collect the data and change in community perception over the time. The results indicated that dependency of the people for fuel wood for forest is decreasing due to availability of LPG connections but scarcity of green fodder still prevailed. Demographic variable indicated that both human and cattle population decreased over the study period. The possible reason for this the migration in search of jobs. Total tree density, basal area, biomass, carbon (C) content in all the selected species except Pinus roxburighii increased. Quercus leucotrichophora showed maximum density thus also have maximum C sequestration rate while Rhododendron arboreum showed the least. On an average the V P sequestrated 13.1 t C ha-1yr-1. It can be concluded that there is a shift in energy consumption pattern and awareness for conservation increasing in the community. The community can trade forest C, which is now emerging, to raise funds for functioning but careful choices in this regard will become especially critical to link community forests as C trade centres.

419 Empowerment of Women Through Autobiography A Study of Shashi Deshpande’s Selected Memory , Acharya Bhavna Vinodkumar
Shashi Deshpande is known for creating women characters who are contemporary. Deshpande’s women protagonists are victims of the prevalent gross gender discrimination, first as daughters and later as wives. The objective of this study is to find out if Shashi Deshpande’s women characters are really empowered women or if they are just wearing a mask of tranquility. The study aims to find out if Shashi Deshpande’s women really assert themselves or somewhere in their assertion process conform to endurance. The study wishes to find out if compromise is the key word in Shashi Deshpande’s heroines’ vocabulary. Shashi Deshpande believes that women have a great strength. All humans do. Actually women have reserves we are often unaware of. Women are better at dealing with emotional traumas. This is because women, unlike men, have never had to suppress their emotional selves, they are more open about these problems - both in articulating them and understanding them. Shashi Deshpande has dealt very minutely and delicately with the problems of middle-class educated women. Shashi Deshpande is only making her voice more distinctive with every new publication. Writing from the margin is also written with felicity to evoke emotions. However much she may deny the influence of feminism in her novels, it is the core of her novels.
420 Using of Fuzzy Set Theory to Assess Natural Parks’s Beauty: the Case of Sierra De Grazalema Natural Parks, Emilio Ram Iacute Rez Amp Ndash Juid Iacute As
The Sierra de Grazalema natural parks located at the South of Andalusia (Spain), is one of the most important in the provinces of Cádiz and Málaga. In the last decades, as a consequence of climatic factors, besides the increase of leisure activities, scenic quality assessment methods have been taken into consideration as a key to promote tourism activities. Hitherto, current assessment methods focus on quantitative evaluations that provide digital information to the users, although people prefer more explicit information than detailed quantitative data on scenic quality assessment. In this paper, an expert system tool is used for evaluating scenic quality through fuzzy reasoning. Results showed that physical features of Sierra de Grazalema natural parks, along with landscape design, are very important to evaluate scenic quality. This research developed a methodology of building an expert system in natural parks area.

428 A Study on Bankruptcy Level of Software Companies in India , Dr. Kavitha Shanmugam, J. Tamilselvi
There are several issues that are utmost relevance with factors that affect the firm’s financial distress such as high leverage, cash shortage and risk management. Given that, in many cases, financial distress may lead to firm’s insolvency. Financial distress can be defined as a circumstance where a company cannot meet nor has difficulty in paying off its current financial obligations. Therefore, since it is difficult to them to predict financial distress, this paper provides a moderate attempt to understand the feasibility of using financial ratios, capital structure and Altman Z-score as an empirical approach to predict financial distress in future. The stakeholder theory of capital structure proposed by Titman (1984) argues that firms will take into account the nonfinancial stakeholders’ preferences when making capital structure decisions. In particular, firms selling specialized products will choose a lower leverage ratio. The study found that according to Altman Z score for top ten software companies in India for the year 2005 – 2014 are 2.827 that denotes that the companies risk is in low range. The companies are out of crisis zone and financially sound. There were no signs of the companies going bankrupt

435 Data Analysis In Economics by Using Stata, Dr. Alok Kumar Pandey
Commercial shrimp farming in India expanded rapidly after trade liberalisation initially were introduced in early 1990s. This paper examines the social, economic and environment impact that has been generated in the community along Odishacoast in East India. The result suggests that macro-level policies such as trade liberalization are useful at the national level, but at the local level they can generate imbalanced growth. Although the shrimp farming has generated substantial foreign exchange at the local level, it has widened the gap between rich and poor. To protect the livelihoods of the rural communities and the environment India needs to formulate effective coastal resource management policies and established adequate institutions at the local level this will help ensure a stable source of income from shrimp farming for small scale farmers and minimise adverse impact on the local environment.
436 Impact of Globalization on Rural Development in India – Some Issues and Concerns, Dr. K. Kaliyamurthy
The term globalization has been associated with key areas of change, which have led to a marked transformation of the world order. Globalization in India is generally taken to mean integrating the economy of the country with the world. This, in turn, implies opening up the economy to foreign direct investment by providing facilities to foreign companies to invest in different fields of economic activity in India. The main policy initiated towards globalization by the Government of India can be discussed under many headings. Globalization can be a major force for prosperity only if it is backed by adequate national policies and conducive social and economic environment. The present paper is totally based on secondary data. This paper will give an overview of what the forces of globalization have in store for the women of India. The various impacts of globalization on the society as well on women in India were also highlighted in the paper. The data thus collected shows the status of globalization in India, the significant role played by the new economic policy in promoting the Indian Economy, Does globalization cause poverty, Why are so many people opposed to globalization and Can globalization be controlled. A large group of working women of India is in the rural and unorganized sectors. Socially the majority of Indian women is still tradition bound and is in a disadvantageous position. Since globalization is opening up the Indian economy suddenly at a very high speed, without the required economic and social policies to provide the much required safety net, women who have been involved with production in the traditional ways, have to cope with numerous problems and yet try to avail of the opportunities which an open economy promises. With this background, this paper mainly focuses on the Anthropological vision and critical reality on the impact of globalization on Indian rural women from various angles.

During this period the country has been engaged in efforts to attain development and growth in various areas such as building infrastructure, finance, agriculture, industrialization, rural development and so on. As compared to the various areas of development agriculture, have not reached the desired level of development and reflects lot of scope for development if we can think of competitive strategies. In this paper we have made an attempt to discuss the importance application knowledge management in Agriculture and its prototype model to implement knowledge in agriculture in a comprehensive way.
445 The Significance of Landscape in Pahari Miniature Painting, Jeevan Kumari
Paintings under Rajput school of Art were divided into two catagories. Tajasthani school and Pahari school. In the second half of the 19th century Pahari paintings play a great role in the history of Indian miniature painting. The earliest paintings in miniature style originated in Basohli, from where the style spread to the hill states of Mankot, Nurpur, Kulu, Mandi, Suket, Bilaspur, Nalagarh, Chamba, Guler and Kangra. Pahari Artists inspired from the natural beauty. They filled the emotions in the landscapes which is said the painted poetry and express the harmony between man and nature. They used the landscape to present the main theme as the suitable background for them. Landscapes were based on the illustrations of Baramasa Bhagvata Purana, Rasamanjari and Ragamala series.
446 Effect of Movies on Value Orientation in Senior Secondary Students, Kanchan Sinha
Research was done to assess the orientation in value through movies among senior secondary students Durg district (C.G.). Measurement of Value Orientation by Movies’ by Ojha and Ojha was administered on 100 senior secondary students ( 50 males and 50 females ). Result of this study shows that senior secondary students values are highly oriented by movie viewing as only 0.84% students were found in negligible and very low value orientation range ; majority 56.5% students were in very high value orientation range and 26.5% students in high value orientation range. Only 9.17% and 7% students were in average and low value orientation range respectively. Among all the values , theoretical values were most and economic values were least oriented values. Both male and female senior secondary students were highly oriented by movies but significant difference were found only between political value , rest value have no significant difference between male and female senior secondary students.

448 Liquid-Liquid Extraction of Palladium (Ii) with Cyanex 301, Bhanu Raman, Shweta S. Salunke
This paper describes experimental work of solvent extraction of Pd (II) from acidic aqueous media with Cyanex 301 as extractant in chloroform. Various parameters such as acid concentration, reagent concentration, shaking time, effect of diluents and effect of foreign ions were studied. Quantitative extraction of Pd (II) in 0.5M HCl was possible with 0.05 M Cyanex 301 after 60 seconds of shaking .The pale yellow coloured Pd-Cyanex 301 complex exhibits maximum absorption 310 nm where extraction of reagent was found to be negligible. The complex is stable more than 48 hrs. The probable composition of the species has been deduced from the extraction data. Beer-Lambert law is obeyed in the concentration range 6µg -80µg with Sandell’s sensitivity of 1.09 x 10-3 µg/mL/cm2 and molar absorptivity of 91,166 mole-1.cm-1.dm3. A study of effect of diverse ions on the extraction showed that several metals ions like Ti+4, Mg+2, Ce+4, Al+3, Mn+2 do not interfere during the extraction and estimation of Palladium. The data have been successfully employed for the separation of binary mixtures containing the non interfering metal ions. The optimized conditions of separation have been successfully utilized to recover metal from real samples.
449 A Study on Risks Faced by Exporter, Dr. G. Chandrasekar, Mr. T. Balamurugan
International trade has its risks, but it also opens up a world of opportunities. The possibility of getting unexpected returns from an investment is called as risk. Risk results in receiving lower returns than an actual return which expected. It includes the probability of losing a part or whole of the original investment. The essential feature of risk is uncertainty. The possibilities of facing risks are large proportions today due to the political and economic changes that are sweeping the world. An outbreak of war or civil war may block or delay payment for goods exported. A coup or terrorism may also bring about the same result. Payments for exports are open to risks even at the best of times. This study was conducted to find out the risks that are frequently faced by the exporter and also to find out the factor which influenced the exporter to insure risk.
450 Level of Awareness on Investment with Reference to Employees of Information Technology Sector, Mrs. P. Sasirekha, Dr. U. Jerinabi
Awareness of investors is considered to be indispensable while studying one’s savings and investment pattern. Awareness of an investor towards savings and investment is created modified and shaped up by various external sources. The print and electronic media such as the dailies, weeklies, television, radio etc., and personal contact with friends, relatives, investment consultants etc, contribute a lot in creating awareness among investors. For improving financial literacy of individual’s there lies a need for financial education. For designing an effective financial education program, current awareness level as well as investment behavior of individuals towards financial products must be known. This paper is an attempt to examine the level of awareness on investment. The study concludes that, majority of the investors are having only average level of awareness on investment.

453 Regional Aspirations in North East India: the Experience of Assam, Bijoy Gogoi, Mr. Anjan K. Bordoloi
Regionalism, as a political ideology is gaining ground in India. If we go back to history, we will find that, after the regional movements in the South and in Punjab, the movement in Assam can be counted as one of the oldest regional movements in the country. The paradigm shift that the regional movements have brought about is to change the mindset of the people so as to facilitate a localized, pin-pointed outlook to political problem-solving. At this juncture, when most states have felt the need for regional parties to raise their respective problems, Assam has reduced the regionalists into almost non-entities, with less than one-twelfth of the total seats in the legislature. AGP is now the fourth largest party, after the Congress, AIUDF and the BPF. The Assam Movement was instrumental in bringing about a surge of regional ambitions in the eyes of the common man. That it instilled in an ordinary man ability to dream about regional prosperity is the biggest contribution of the movement. The inability to follow up the dreams that were created, and a failure of the political class who were entrusted to convert those dreams and idealism into reality has really dashed hopes and lofty dreams. The society in Assam seems to settle down, and seems content for much lesser. Regionalism cannot only be confined to formation of a political party and its existence, it has to be a broader, a more widespread phenomenon. The problem arises when certain groups assert their authority over it, when the actual authority should lie with the people. The soul of Assam lies in a regional ideology, where people come out of their differences in customs and celebrate their diversity. The concept ‘Son of Soil’ plays an important role in the process of growing the sense of regionalism in North Eastern states particularly Assam. As a result of growing regionalism, various movements occurred for the separate autonomy within Assam in different times.

455 Right To Privacy: Whats That? Asks Media, Mrs. Ashwini
Privacy is the asset of an individual. Every human being will have some or the other matter or issue which they consider private; which they do not want the world to know. Respecting the privacy of an individual is our duty. Thus the media should also respect the privacy rights of all, be it film celebrities, politicians, sports stars a layman too. But an analytical view into the functioning of media offers a clear picture that privacy is barely respected by them. “Everything is their cup of tea”. The Indian constitution too provides Indian citizens protection from violation of privacy rights. If the media is announcing some private matter, which if not done will affect the security of the nation or well being of the society it is accepted. But media many times gets into the bedrooms of celebrities, their health records or files, their family fights or husband wife relationships, extra marital affairs, divorce, children and several other issues which are completely personal and are not necessary for the public’s knowledge. This paper tries to look into these issues in detail, provide cases to substantiate the same and also provides feasible solutions for it.
456 Redefining Tax Residence of Companies, Utkarsh Kumar, Shria Tikoo
: Regarding tax, the major aspect that counts is where one inhabits – “the residency”. The residential status of a company essentially determines the taxability of a company’s income in India. For a company, which is a resident of India, the whole lot of income that is earned by it becomes taxable whereas a non-resident company only pays taxes for its income sourced in India. Hence, in order to evaluate the taxability on income, determining the residential status of a company is of the utmost significant. The paper will evaluate the significant changes that are brought about in the Finance Bill widening the scope of residency to a great extent
